As I listen to music primarily for songs rather than musicianship there's only one winner here.

That's debatable. :finger:

It's interesting how this poll is revealing how unimaginative you all are. I'm the misanthrope and I still am picking the joker over the she-male.

I'm trying to count off the albums from both that I love and coming up even...

Zappa:
Sheik Yerbouti
Shut Up n' Play Yer Guitar
Apostrophe
We're Only In It for the Money
Absolutely Free
Weasels Ripped My Flesh

Bowie:
Ziggy Stardust
Hunky Dory
Station to Station
Low
Aladdin Sane
Scary Monsters

Nope, can't do it.

I can't vote either. Bowie's consistency let's him down but his willingness to new embrace new sounds has always been a huge asset and he is a very capable musician.

Zappa's sense of humour and awesome musicianship is legendary but we could point the finger at him for almost TOO much material and sometimes absurdist material for the sake of it.

At the risk of sounding like an overhyping maniac Bowie is a king in music. We could have opened this up to all bands from all genres and he'd still probably be in the top 4.

Bowie has trounced Zappa, nice

I agree completely.
