David Bowie survivor - Hunky Dory

[cobl04]

Joining us in the playoffs from The Man Who Sold The World will be the rocking horse-featuring title track, Bowie's tribute to the mathematical term diameter and Black Country Rock.

This round, we are picking three songs each from Hunky Dory. I'm a bit bummed it's only three, there's so many good songs, but that's what happens in survivors, hey.

We only had nine voters in the last round, but hopefully we have some more this time around.

Three songs progress, you got 48 hours.

This one is really tough for me. Life on Mars is obvious, but the other two...

Not voting for Changes, which I've just heard far too many times and isn't that amazing, albeit a good single. I think Queen Bitch will get through, and it is a great song, but honestly I think I'm voting for Song for Bob Dylan, which I've always loved, a great quieter sort of track and Quicksand.

Easy enough for me. Changes, Oh You Pretty Things and Life on Mars are unassailable classics. I cannot hear them enough. As much as I like the album as a whole, it does peak early for me.

This is a tough one. Changes and Life on Mars? are the easier picks for me, but it was a coin toss between Song For Bob Dylan and Kooks. Voted for the former. I also feel bad for not voting for Oh! You Pretty Things.

Low will be another tough one to choose from.

I see Cobbler voted for four tracks. Has he avoided a Friggin yet in this survivor?

 

[bono_212]

Easy for me as well: Changes, Life on Mars? and Queen Bitch.

Haha, I love Eight Line Poem so much and I figure no one else will vote for it, so I thought I'd chuck it a sneaky vote.

Abusing his power! Fight the system!

I love those opening lines

Ohh hear this Robert Zimmerman
I wrote this song for you
About a strange young man called Dylan
With a voice like sand and glue...

How does an album with Queen Bitch, Andy Warhol, Song For Bob Dylan, and Bewlay Bros "peak early"?

This album has so many standout songs, it's a travesty it didn't make the top level. You all suck.

 

[Aardvark747]

let me make it plain...

oh! you pretty things

 

[lazarus]

Let's not take Queen Bitch for granted, folks. Only at 1 vote.

What happened to all the Lou Reed fans? He just died and the song is ABOUT him.

You're supposed to vote for three songs, man!

Because my three favorites are right at the beginning. That's just the opinion I have.

That's just the opinion I have.

That is why you fail - YouTube

Sorry, couldn't vote on my phone. Fourth place now

 

[iron yuppie]

Changes, Pretty Things, and Life on Mars. Safe choices I guess, but those are three absolute classics.

You didn't vote for Life on Mars LOL

Good to see some love for Bewlay Brothers.

Is it? I didn't know that.

It might even say something in the hand-drawn liner notes. Can't quite remember; my copy was stolen a few years back and I still need to replace it.

[bono_212]

I mean, it's, at the very least, a clear homage.

Queen Bitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it does; on the back it says "(some v.u., white light returned with thanks)"

it's possibly my favourite track on the album, which says a lot because i love so many songs on here. i can't believe it's only in fourth place.

 

[cobl04]

Looks like it's doomed, even if I'd voted for it. I thought it was a clear-cut second favourite. Surprised to see so much love for Changes. I prefer Tupac's

[cobl04]

Also surprised there's only two votes for Quicksand. Incredible song.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

can i ch-ch-change my vote and put all three of them for queen bitch?

 

[bono_212]

Why not? Cobbler's already abusing his power

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'll just completely ruin this poll and make the results look like this:
the first three tracks: 10ish votes apiece
everything else: 0 or 1 votes
queen bitch: A MILLION VOTES

 

[bono_212]

It's Officially awesome.
