Best Bit of Station to Station

6.00 - 6.30 - "It's not the side effects of the cocaine! I'm thinking that it must be love!"

obviously

bowie is shit though

I approve of this poll

haha great. and difficult...

3.00-3.30 when the vocal comes in. Oh Yeah.

genius idea this thread. the artwork (of the original sleeve) is a 'best bit' too methinks.

David inspecting his traffic cone factory, you mean?

Best poll evah

the REDCAPITALSWITHNOSPACES also.

Der n duh der n duh

my total fave part - i think.
this is the bit when the bass comes in prior to the vocals isn't it ?

5.30 - 6.00 - "You will connect me with love!

Doesn't he sing, "Who will connect me with love?"

Anyway: "5.00 - 5.30 - "Once there were mountains on mountains!"

yes, just checked and you're right. that's interesting it gives the song more of a narrative, albeit an odd one.

Anyway: "5.00 - 5.30 - "Once there were mountains on mountains!"

Yes, that's a good bit. Kind of silly prog-rocky detour.

Great chord change too!

it's either "the return of the thin white duke, throwing darts in other peoples eyes"

or "it's not the side effects of the cocaine, I'm guessing that it must be love!"

I vote the latter, particularly the "cocaine" and "love!"

That first line is: "...throwing darts in lovers' eyes"

7:30 - 8:00 - Guitars!

This thread is really making me mad that I don't have this song on my iPod right now! Dying to hear it all of a sudden.

6:00-6:30 is the greatest line in all of popular music.

coke n crowley

That first line is: "...throwing darts in lovers' eyes"

silly me

Dammit, I had always heard it as "The European canon is here", not "cannon".

Yeah, it's "canon."

Silent "n"

Best Poll Yet?

4:00-4:30 : Super coked out magic(k)al pretentiousness delivered with frightening conviction. I always feel he's going to explode when I hear him deliver this line. All sorts of awesome.

"Choo Choo woosh" 's my fave thing, tho.
Great poll.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i went for "DRINK! DRINK! DRINK" Raise you glass high!" the bit were the facism / funk dichotomy becomes most insane.

ABSOLUTELY the best poll EVER.

off the top of my head i think 5'00" - 5'30" but i'm going to listen again RIGHT NOW and get my answer in before the poll ends :)

woops fascism not facism

yep. 5'20", to be precise.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i'm not unhappy with that.

i wouldn't have been unhappy with any result, really ;)

Scruh Der n duh der n duh

shame this didn't get any votes, mind.

still haven't made up my mind! but like grimly i'd be happy with any result

I'm listening my way through the singles poll playlist, and this song is on replay #3, and my carefully observed conclusion is that every bit of it is perfect, but 6.00 - 6.30 is indeed the most awesome bit of all. <3

Sad that dredging the ocean didn't get any votes. I probably would've gone with Thin White Duke - I like how he used to reprise that section at the very end when playing the song live.

WONDER WHO WONDER WHO WONDER WHEN
