OK, this format has been on hold for a while, we previously had an Abba quickie rate and an ABC vs Adam Ant quickie rate, but that was so long ago a refresh of the rules is needed!

 

It's a vote system designed to force you to pick tracks you are passionate about - there's no giving a dozen tracks the same rate, there's no junking of tracks that might polarise opinions, it's totally about how much you love just a few tracks.

 

The Points go:

 

1. (Your fave track) 10 points

2. (Your 2nd fave) 7 points

3. 4 points

4. 2 points

5. 1 point

 

 

So your absolute fave matters, it will get lots of points, and you can't say you love them all the same, you have to choose.

 

David Bowie's career spanned from the mid-60's to his death in 2016, and he recorded a vast amount of material, which you can find here:
