It was really difficult, I was trying to restrict myself from giving too many 10s, but I thought, what the hell? I'm usually good at being reserved with rate scores, I think only Madonna would be able to rival such levels of extreme fandom in a singles rate from me.
January 18, 20169 yr 0 Alabama Song (I don't know what he was doing here) Bowie played it a lot on what was essentially the 'Heroes' tour. They quickly recorded a studio version during a break and Bowie insisted on its release in order to quicker fulfill his contractual obligations with RCA. The awkward key changes were deliberate but I'm pretty sure he wasn't satisfied with it either except as an exercise in annoying his label. The B-side was a great stripped down version of Space Oddity and that's probably why it sold enough to chart.

Edited January 18, 20169 yr by dandy*
January 18, 20169 yr I don't know whether this would run but what I am going to do (eventually!) with a Beatles rate is have everyone give their top 10. Then the 40 songs that appear the most times would be selected for the rate. I know this adds another level to the rate but with so many essential songs that were not singles this seems the best way to do it given he's got such a vast catalogue. I prefer top 5/10/20's myself because it forces everyone to avoid giving everything the same mark, and therefore is more exciting and the differences more pronounced. Very in favour of the Beatles one - I will get round to a Quickie Rate if not (top 5's), but top 10 is better, more to choose from :cheer:

Will be doling out low scores too :P

In fact, you could probably add on a few points to it now that I know why :)

January 18, 20169 yr Sorry, can't remember the outer two and I didn't like the others. Little Wonder has always annoyed me. You won't like Dead Man Walking but Heart's Filthy Lesson is sorta of post-NIN and I like it rather a lot.
January 18, 20169 yr Heart's Filthy Lesson is sorta of post-NIN and I like it rather a lot. There's even a Trent Reznor remix on the single
