Bowie Album Survivor: Final Round

grindy · 01-24-2016, 03:12 AM

Space Oddity for me as well.
A vast improvement to his first one, a few good songs, but still.
I have to admit I really love TMWSTW. It used to be one of my most listened to Bowie albums. Love pretty much every song on this one, although I see how it's much less accomplished than a lot of his later work.

Shall we just call it for Space Oddity for this round then, or does anyone else want to vote? The first round doesn't even require counting, as it's all pretty much as expected, but once we hit round 2 it will get a little less obvious.

I don't know what the count is right now, but I vote for the man who sold the world. I only abstained from that first round of voting because it was unanimous.

Ah! A dissenting opinion!

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 01-24-2016, 11:39 AM

It took a lot of consideration, but Space Oddity.

Trollheart · 01-25-2016, 05:12 AM

How surprising! Space Oddity is "floating in a most peculiar way" out of the voting!

So that leaves us with

The Man Who Sold the World
Hunky Dory

Make your choice. Voting ends Jan 27

I'm gonna have to go TMWStW sadly...

The Man Who Sold the World

I like The Man Who Sold the World but I like Hunky Dory more. So another vote for The Man Who Sold the World.

Gonna be edgy and vote off Hunky Dory.
I know it'll win and it surely deserves to. It's more accomplished and might be considered the first "real" Bowie album. Some songs there are just amazing. But some others, while still good, don't really excite me. Meanwhile I like pretty much every song on TMWSTW and I've also got more of a history with that album.

I like TMWSTW, but Hunky Dory is better.

I vote TMWSTW.
