Xp lol mookie, in all honesty if there was a "rank every episode of MASH in order" you'd see a zealousness usually reserved for FF7 otherkin or Radiohead fans

it's my favourite spiders record. well, proto-spiders. don't understand how 'width of a circle' didn't place.

it's the best bowie tune apart from all the other bowie tunes

I think you're right

I forgot to vote in this one but yeah, the absence of "Width of a Circle" was pretty surprising.

Showrunning this poll and the LZ poll was (were?) huge fun. I'm glad everyone else seems to have had a good time as well.

this poll inspired me to order The Complete David Bowie, which happened to arrive in the mail today!

and already, it's making me seek out things. the entry for Ashes to Ashes (which is 6 columns of small text!) mentions that Bowie has cited the 1952 musical number called "Inchworm" as a melodic influence on the song.

surprised no one's revived this yet.

blackstar would be top 10, lazarus top 15

Would be worth repolling in a few years, but not now while people are still rending garments.
― WilliamC, Thursday, 14 January 2016 20:15 (eight years ago) link
Also would be worth repolling because the body of work is complete (give or take five songs).
― WilliamC, Thursday, 14 January 2016 20:16 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I'd be interested to see what happens if we redid this in a little while. Right now I think Blackstar and Lazaras might even be in with a shout of winning.

it's a hell of a life when "lady grinning soul" isn't even one of your top 60 songs

I revise this thing every year. It's hard to dump a song.
