David bowie survivor - the final

[cobl04]

Hard to believe, but here we are. The final.

I'm no historian, but it has been at least, what, five years since Peef started and ultimately failed to do a Bowie survivor? And many people doubted my ability to finish this one, but here we stand, ready to go, to pick the best David Bowie song according to a handful of people in Just the Bang and the Clatter.

So what will it be, and why?

Vote for your FAVOURITE of these two songs.

 

[iron yuppie]

Argh. These are two legitimately great songs. Neither of them is in my top ten Bowie songs, though, which I suppose shouldn't matter, but it's making it hard for me to pick one.

 

[bono_212]

These are my two favorite songs. I don't know what to do :'(

 

[LemonMelon]

Heroes is 10/10

Life on Mars is 11/10

 

[bono_212]

Oh look, I can vote for both.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm writing in "Love Is Lost (James Murphy Remix)."

Haha, guess it wouldn't be a Cobbler poll without one final fuck-up.

I'm writing in "Love Is Lost (James Murphy Remix)."

Actually it's "Love is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix By James Murphy for the DFA)" please have some respect

Life On Mars? barely edges out Heroes. That ascension to the chorus just gets me every time. Great piano, lyrics, vocals. Both songs are among his best.

 

[cobl04]

I can't choose either. Will have to give them both a few spins. Both among his very best, definitely.

Also pretty annoyed CLF also apparently fucks with thread titles.

Just for one day.

This, from the man who didn't even capitalize Bowie's last name.

Spoiler

(I thought I posted that last night before I left work, but apparently I didn't hit submit, so it was just sitting here waiting to be snarky when I arrived at work this morning)

 

[cobl04]

But I did, I just didn't know it would do the caps lock filter thing.

 

[bono_212]

Well, that's why I put that in the spoiler tag. At the time, you hadn't explained and it was well timed...now it's just a joke that was lost to time

 

[cobl04]

Ah, right.

Had to vote for "Heroes". Fripp, the lyrics, the passion in the vocals... just edges out Life on Mars?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Doesn't look like I can vote with the mobile app? My vote goes to Life On Mars, anyway. Probably my favorite Bowie song.

 

[bono_212]

Ah hell, so it's not a blow-out, Ill vote for Life on Mars? as well.

 

[lazarus]

Life On Mars closing the gap!

 

[cobl04]

Why did you vote for Life on Mars laz? haven't heard you talk about these two tracks.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

jfc i'm an idiot, apparently this is my first survivor. i voted for heroes because it was my least favourite, but i see now it says favourite. so life on mars? then.

You're a mod, can't you change it?

So basically with GAF's vote and Khanada's actual vote, we're tied up.

 

[lazarus]

Why did you vote for Life on Mars laz? haven't heard you talk about these two tracks.

They're both fantastic, and near the top for me.

I'm feeling Life On Mars a little more today.

So basically with GAF's vote and Khanada's actual vote, we're tied up.

She changed it; if you count the names up, there are 9 for Heroes and 4 for Life on Mars, but mods can go in and adjust the numbers.

Should be 8-6 with GAF's vote.

yeah, we can only change the number of votes. i at least wanted to say what i was doing in the thread so it didn't seem like tampering was done on purpose.

i'm so gonna bug some friend to register on here just to vote for heroes. then it'll be tied, and we can run another poll to see which one's better, and it'll tie too. every poll will tie and your head will be a spinning chicken nugger.
