I guess I'm really doing this.

So I asked around about a Bowie Survivor and the general concensus was to start with this album, leave off the b-sides/bonus tracks and make them their own round. I know that I rarely ever listen to this album, but there are a few gems to be had on here. Most of you urged not to be half-assed out it, so this is where we begin! And starting off with this one will help build some momentum towards better albums he did after this.



And the choices:

1. Space Oddity
2. Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed
3. Letter To Hermione
4. Cygnet Committee
5. Janine
6. An Occasional Dream
7. Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud
8. God Knows I'm Good
9. Memory Of A Free Festival

I'ma keep these rounds fairly short, 2 maybe 3 days max. That way it'll keep it fresh and moving. So get to votin'!

um, it might be a little late for me to say this, but...how do you play these survivor thread game things?

Pick the ONE song you think is the worst of the bunch and vote it off.

aha. well, i've never been much for "god knows i'm good". god knows it's mediocre.

but anyway, i vote off Cygnette Committee.... everything that's wrong about this entire genre and era of music.

I vote off "God knows I'm good".




... ahem, although I must say that I have the album but I'm not really familiar with the songs.
But I'll do my best!

god knows i'm good

It's like 30 seconds long and I decided to draw the line somewhere. It'd be like voting on a segue.

9. Memory Of A Free Festival

"God Knows I'm Good" cuz I never even remember it's on there.

C'mon bitches! Vote! I know there are more Bowie fans out there.

You're not missing a whole lot.

But just for fun, pick a title you think really sounds stupid and vote it off.

GangstaFam said:

well in that case, I vote off:

5. Janine

cos it's a boring title compared to the others...

btw, I want "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" to win cos that sounds like the title to every Sunday morning of my life.

Cheek said:

endorphin74 said:

Just vote "God Knows I'm Good" off and everything's gonna be alright!

endorphin74 said:

Thank you to Cheek for helping me correct my error.

Cheek said:

Wait a minute. You hadn't even voted yet. Is that your pick then?

GangstaFam said:

GOOD POINT!

endorphin74 said:

You're welcome! Anytime!

GangstaFam said:

I dunno! Should I vote???

Cheek said:

Umm...yeah! Why not?

endorphin74 said:

Pushover.

GangstaFam said:

Cuz I think these survior threads aren't too fair with the Artists!

You know me, I'm a sucker for someone with a kitty-avatar
