Even though I like S&G very much I like Bowie more plus we need something of another genre and that song is one of the best of all time too.
Bowie? :confused:

Ladies and Gentlemen... your Elite 8

At this point I would say "Simple Man" is the surprise underdog. But does it have the legs to beat one of the greatest rock anthems of all time?

To be fair, he DID "help" write it (most people agree that he probably basically wrote it himself) and played it live pretty consistently in the 70s.

Thanks.

Bowie did write it and sang his own dang song which as been included in his Albums.


Quote:
The song originated after Bowie came into contact with Mott the Hoople's bassist Peter Watts and learned that the band was ready to split due to continued lack of commercial success. When Mott rejected his first offer of a composition, "Suffragette City" (from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars), Bowie wrote "All the Young Dudes" in short order specially for them, allegedly sitting cross-legged on the floor of a room in Regent Street, London, in front of the band's lead singer, Ian Hunter.



David Bowie's own studio version from 1973's sessions for Aladdin Sane, went unreleased until 1994 when it appeared in mono on the semi-legal album RarestOneBowie. It was subsequently included, again in mono, on The Best of David Bowie 1969/1974, the 30th Anniversary edition of Aladdin Sane, and the 2-disc US version of Best of Bowie. A stereo version circulates unofficially among collectors, as does a version consisting of the backing track for Mott the Hoople's version with Bowie's guide vocal. A variant of this version, combining Bowie's vocal on the choruses with Ian Hunter on the verses, was released on the 2006 reissue of All the Young Dudes. Bowie's first released version was in 1974 on the David Live double LP. Bowie

Yeah, I've seen him do it, but he wrote it for Mott, they made it famous, and that's what we're voting on.

Oh, Whole Lotta Love.

lumberjim 04-11-2010 08:10 PM
Did you know that they used to blare Whole Lotta Love over the tank speakers in Viet Nam to scare Charlie?

said: According to Joy Press and Simon Reynolds' The Sex Revolts , American soldiers in Vietnam would ride into battle blasting "Whole Lotta Love", the part where it roars out of its fuzzed-out miasmic free-jazz middle section and back into its titanic brontosaurus riff. It's a terrifying image, bloodthirsty heavily armed children fueling themselves with the heaviest, most violent music available. But it's oddly exhilarating, too, and that's the genius of the song. Zeppelin turned teenage sex-drive into apocalyptic precision-tooled violence. Even in that experimental stretch, the peals of feedback sound like bombs falling. --Tom Breihan

One of these songs is a single three note riff for 7 minutes.

Is it wrong that I'm an uniformed voter?

I know I like Crazy Diamond, and I'm voting for it with this post.

What is this young dudes song, and how did it make it this far?

lumberjim 04-12-2010 01:03 PM
It's a joke song written by one artist to embarrass another. It needs to be ousted.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

i think i'm already beaten but i have to say.... all the young dudes. Shine On is gorgeous, but it's no anthem. Dudes is so cross-generationally powerful, shine on is just a nice ode to a lost friend.

I looked up dudes and listened to it, and I'm less ignorant than I thought. Not only do I know that song, but I like it. Just not as much as Diamond.
