really a great compilation, good for everyone who fairly knows David Bowie, and above all for those that approach his music for the first time. Like his 2 Best Of of the second part of the 70s and that of the 80s, The Best Of David Bowie 1969/1974 is a complete overview that gives a good idea of what The White Duke meant for rock and experimental music in those years, the first in his fantastic career. it's impossible to say which are the best songs, each one is a gem, my favourite will always be Space Oddity.
