Thanks for participating everyone. Things are off to a good start. Good choices. Great discussion.

And from some of the responses and orgnotes sent to me, we've already gotten some others interested in checking out his work.

So this first round was pretty clear cut. And I have to admit I agree with the choice. With at total of 11 votes (more than twice the runner-up), "Fill Your Heart" must leave us today. Being that it's a cover, fortunately it won't be too missed.

For Round 2, we have the following to choose from:

1. Changes
2. Oh! You Pretty Things
3. Eight Line Poem
4. Life On Mars?
5. Kooks
6. Quicksand
8. Andy Warhol
9. Song for Bob Dylan
10. Queen Bitch
11. The Bewlay Brothers

Choose well. We'll have another round ready to go by this time tomorrow.

Song for Bob Dylan

Song for Bob Dylan never did it for me one way or the other.

Eight Line Poem.

I've still got another two tracks before "Dylan".

Kooks is just the worst.

All these songs are great, but I guess I'd pick the Bewlay Brothers

That's one of the two tracks before "Dylan" on my list. I can't get with the last minute or so of "Bewlay".

I'm voting for "Eight Line Poem"

You mean the muppets singing?

it's also kind of a post script to the album. getting rid of it doesn't hurt the flow too much.

NDRU said:

i'd agree with that, but i heard a really nice live version on a BBC radio broadcast circa "heathen", and i warmed up to that song after hearing bowie's little schpiel about how hard it is to remember the lyrics.

Anx said:

It's a very creative song. The lyrics are pretty crazy, and the freeform way they're sung probably makes it harder to remember.

The threads are usually torture when we are talking about great bowie masterpieces!

It's so difficult 2 choose

Keep "Kooks" in!

That song is amazing!

Kooks

BTW, we have 222 days of doing this ahead of us, not counting Stage and David Live.

kooks

I'm only in through 'Aladdin Sane'. I'd like to see how many people participate for the Tin Machine stuff.

meh

eight line poem

Moonbeam said:

What's your vote?

calldapplwondery83 said:

I agree. It's the unhinged sister to "Quicksand". Love it.

calldapplwondery83 said:

Whoa. Let's not jump ahead too much or we're likely to get intimidated and quit now. One album at a time.

I'm holding off to see what is the biggest threat to "Kooks".

8 line poem

I'm gonna have to go with "Song For Bob Dylan" as well.

It's not a bad song, but it's definitely weak compared to what surrounds it.

And I must say that I wish "Bombers" had been included on the album instead of "Fill Your Heart".

Song For Bob Dylan

ehem...as a seasoned fan since 1947

i vote for Changes
