Bowie's "Hunky Dory" Round 3...a difficult decision [ROUND CLOSED]

I decided to leave the last round open a little longer because there was no clear cut loser.

The votes kept coming in, but a tie remained between "Eight Line Poem" and "Song For Bob Dylan".

But for the sake of not losing momentum, I'm going to leave it a tie.

"Song For Bob Dylan" is a somewhat non-descript bluesey rocker that can't stand up to the amazing cabaret pop and acoustic epics that surround it.

And "Eight Line Poem", although interesting, seems more like a segue between the songs on either side of it.

So with 7 votes each, they make sense as the next tracks to exit the game.

Things will get tougher from here.

What we have left are the following songs.

1. Changes
2. Oh! You Pretty Things
4. Life On Mars?
5. Kooks
6. Quicksand
8. Andy Warhol
10. Queen Bitch
11. The Bewlay Brothers

Choose wisely. As Moonbeam pointed out in the last thread, sometimes it's more important to vote against the competition for the songs you want to stay rather than the song you like the least. Sneaky little bastard, but it keeps things interesting.

I'll try to keep this round short and sweet.

Easy decision: Quicksand can sink into oblivion.

For real. I think they're accounts were hacked, and some strangers are posting random crap here now.



It's Kooks, of course.

It's Kooks, of course.

Even though it wasn't a single, it's one of the enduring classics from the album at this point.

After the singles, the 2 "Q" songs are what people remember.

I can't believe there have been no votes for "Andy Warhol" yet.

I only have that downloaded. I'd love to have the real thing.

And how cool about the workshop. Lucky you!
