Always felt this was the weakest track on the album, though Right is close.
>>
>>61976448
wrong there family. Young Americans is a fantastic song (and album too)
>>
>>61976663
I'm pretty sure the most popular single from Young Americans is Fame.
>>
1. Heroes
2. Station To Station
3. Young Americans
4. Low
5. Ziggy Stardust
>>
>>61976448

Rumours

Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way and Dreams are all weaker than Gold Dust Woman, Never Going Back Again and Songbird
>>
>>61976719

I'm ok with this.
>>
there was a song that I believe was in young americans that was featured in the five years bowie documentary
it was black and white footage of Bowie with Luther and other singers

cant remember the damn song
>>
>>61976799
what about the chain
>>
Frozen
>>
>>61976859

the chains the best track on the album IMO
>>
>>61976799
Gold Dust Woman, The Chain, and You Make Loving Fun are the best tracks IMO

I'm not saying Pornograffiti was a GREAT album, but it had some good moments... aside from the HORRENDOUS smash-hit "More than Words," which was apparently every teen girl's favorite song in fall of 1990.

Silver Springs is the best Rumours song and it's not even on the damn album.

Sorry Thom. You'll never top it.
>>
>>61976719
You forgot Heathen.
>>
El Scorcho was my least favorite song on Pinkerton and I feel like it's on of Weezer's most popular songs
>>
>>61978063
Heathen is around 9 or 10. I didn't bother going past 5 because the rankings change from day to day.
>>
>>61976799
You were doing so well, but Dreams is up there with the best songs in that album.

What's the most popular song? Be My Wife?
>>
>>61978840
Sound and Vision. Which is one of the best songs on the album. So that poster's a fucking idiot and I'm going to kill him.
>>
>>61978911
No, it's definitely Be My Wife.
>>
>>61978840
Sound and Vision is the "popular single", but both singles contribute fairly little to the greatness of Low

Win is fantastic. By far the best song on the album.

Either is incorrect. Those are easily the best songs. Win and Fascination are close.

The worst song is the cover of Across the Universe.

>>61981979
I could maybe get behind this one.

True, but the best song was the B-Side so it's all okay in the end.

and then there were trips

>1. Heroes
>2. Station To Station

The title track is the best of the album in both cases tho
>>
>>61982777
The worst or one of the weaker songs being the most popular seems to be a a thing for a lot of Genesis albums.

>most popular song from Selling England is I Know What I Like
>most popular song from A Trick of the Tail is A Trick of the Tail
>most popular song from Wind & Wuthering is Your Own Special Way
>most popular song from Duke is Misunderstanding
>most popular song from Abacab is No Reply At All
>most popular song from Invisible Touch is In Too Deep
>most popular song from We Can't Dance is I Can't Dance

Although you could argue that We Can't Dance is a shit album as a whole, but the title track is the absolute worst.
>>
>>61982866
houses in motion is not the worst song though
I mean, most of the B side is worse.
>>
>>61976448
OP ur retarded fame is a masterpiece
also Win is a fantastic song as well
>>
>>61976719
Heroes is the best track on heroes

This is probably one of the most damning examples as it shipwrecked the rep of the band's entire catalogue in all serious discussion of music, and they are now seen as twee hipster trash despite it not being fitting of them at all.
>>
>>61976448
Young Americans is one of bowies strongest songs lyrically.
>>
>>61976448
Janes Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual comes to mind.

Been Caught Stealing is the worst song on that album.
>>
>>61983043
But "Aisle of Plenty" and "More Fool Me" are much worse than "I Know What I Like".
>>
>>61983043
I only disagree with I Know What I Like. More Fool Me and The Battle of Epping Forest are the worst tracks on SEBTP.
>>
>>61983482
imo that's Ashes to Ashes
