For the tiebreaker poll, please choose one to move on to the next round.

IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do listen to each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a track well, it's still worth giving it a listen for a refresher.

The poll will run for four days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are (please let me know if any video doesn't play for you):

Leonard Cohen is an amazing singer, and more of his stuff should have been in the running. This song must move on! :panic:

Definitely Bowie.
Cohen's song here is in many respects better, it's perfect and has style. But music-wise, to my year it is kinda one-dimensional, you listen to it once, remember it by heart, and there you are, you don't have to listen to it any more, you already have it with everything there is. While the Bowie song (not his best) is something that drags you back and compels to listen again. All strictly in bears' flawed opinion.

(Randy Travis's song here is from those I would never listen to if given any choice)

As above. It has to be David Bowie for me too!

In keeping with my policy, I abstained as I do not care for any of the three. I'll let the fans decide.

Can't believe the amazing Leonard Cohen has just two votes :cry:
