David Bowie "Hunky Dory" Round 7...I ain't got the power anymore [ROUND CLOSED]

Well, "Quicksand"'s time has finally come. sigh

Despite MikeMatronik's best efforts to bribe the voting population with naked pictures and a few political votes, we were unable to save this epic acoustic ballad. Hailed by many as one of his best compositions, this marked a turning point in his writing showing a world weary knowingness.

Where's Robert Smith when you need him?




But I digress. It just couldn't stand up to the perfect pop and glam of the remaining heavyweights. But it only lost by 1 vote.



And these are the songs that remain:

Changes
Oh! You Pretty Things
Life On Mars?
Queen Bitch


*Choose the one song you want voted off.




This his how the voting has turned out so far:

5. Quicksand
6. Andy Warhol
7. Kooks
8. The Bewlay Brothers
10. Song For Bob Dylan (tie)
10. Eight Line Poem (tie)
11. Fill Your Heart


And to keep things relevant, a shot from one of his coolest photo sessions ever!

All great tracks but if I have to get rid of one it will have to be "Oh You Pretty Things" for the simple reason that my memory is still tarnished by Peter Noone's version!
