Poll question: Best David Bowie Single (1969-76)
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 02:46 PM by Screaming Lord Byron
I realised there's too many good Bowie singles for one poll, so I limited this to pre-77, I'll do a later one if anyone's that better.

I'm going for Life on Mars, myself.

SHIT! I FORGOT FAME. HOW LAME IS THAT!

5. Yup. Realised that massive oversight about 5 seconds after posting.
Only the big hit single and all, eh?

7. I prefer some of his album tracks from this period...
Like "Watch that Man," or "Joe the Lion..." but my favorite Bowie album is Lodger, which is from 79, so it doesn't fall within this category, I guess.

Hmmm. I guess you and I can agree that David Bowie is great, huh?

9. I'll put that stuff in the next poll. 'Heroes' is my favourite album.
Hey, no harm done, I like to argue music.

11. Yeah, like I say, definitely not enough choices in a poll to cover it.

13. I Voted Other
Either Panic In Detroit, or Aladdin Sane, both off the same album.

Another i would have a hard time not picking is Cracked Actor.

All assuming, of course, we're limited by your pre-77 rule.
