Didn't think this would be the Final tbh,but these comps always throw up a surprise or two.
Two great tracks.Think i'll go with Drive In Saturday
Ever wondered why Bowie has no eyebrows on the 'Aladdin Sane' album cover?Well it's to do with the track 'Drive In Saturday',drink and an angry reaction to a snub from Mott The Hoople as he explains below.
p.s have really enjoyed this comp.Been a nice,poignant tribute to a great artist who will be sadly missed.And a wee reminder of just how many great tracks he had in his back catalogue.
Thanks too everyone who voted,as per.

Thanks again for the hard work which goes into this type of competition, Tek.
Queen Bitch for me here: this track made me revisit earlier albums (well, The Man Who Sold the World) and realise I actually liked David Bowie, and has remained a favourite over the years. Could potentially win the contest, .......and not even a single........
