Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" Round 5...My brain hurts a lot!! [ROUND CLOSED] How completely unexpected! 
Y'all voted off "Five Years". Initially, I thought that this song along with the title track and "Rock N Roll Suicide" would make the final three. Boy, was I wrong! Ziggy's first song is a classic of the ages, depicting the common belief at the time that the world may end within the next 5 years. Of course it didn't, but Bowie's conviction and fear set the stage for his future dystopia. The whole thing makes you want to live life to the fullest, not crawl into a bomb shelter. This showcases Ziggy's unique blend of decadence and innocence. 
Onward Christian soldiers! Here's what we've got left: 2. Soul Love 3. Moonage Daydream 4. Starman 8. Hang Onto Yourself 9. Ziggy Stardust 10. Suffragette City 11. Rock 'N' Roll Suicide *Vote for the one song you want eliminated. Here's what's gone: 8. Five Years 9. Lady Stardust 10. Star 11. It Ain't Easy That's all we've got!

[Edited 2/10/07 0:51am] Well, since the philistines won and voted off Five Years, I'm going for the "sacrilege jugular" and voting for Ziggy Stardust. Never did care too much for that song.  [Edited 2/10/07 0:56am] There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

I'm glad I'm not the only one perplexed by this. Very puzzling, I think...I'm not quite the fan of this album or Bowie in general as you and some of the others are. I do think there are some middling songs here, and there are a few that I actually regard as genuinely poor, but no way is Five Years one of them. I figure it's one of the best and most distinctive tracks of his career. [Edited 2/10/07 17:44pm] | |

I'm shocked by the way the vote has gone ~ but it is getting more difficult with each vote.
I'll have to stay with Starman as much as I love it. Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

I'm shocked that "lady stardust" is gone, actually.
That said, STARMAN needs to go. | |

anyone that voted off "Five Years" needs their god damn teeth punched in.
