Even though I like S&G very much I like Bowie more plus we need something of another genre and that song is one of the best of all time too.
Bowie?

Ladies and Gentlemen... your Elite 8

At this point I would say "Simple Man" is the surprise underdog. But does it have the legs to beat one of the greatest rock anthems of all time?

Thanks.

Bowie did write it and sang his own dang song which as been included in his Albums.


Quote:
The song originated after Bowie came into contact with Mott the Hoople's bassist Peter Watts and learned that the band was ready to split due to continued lack of commercial success. When Mott rejected his first offer of a composition, "Suffragette City" (from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars), Bowie wrote "All the Young Dudes" in short order specially for them, allegedly sitting cross-legged on the floor of a room in Regent Street, London, in front of the band's lead singer, Ian Hunter.



David Bowie's own studio version from 1973's sessions for Aladdin Sane, went unreleased until 1994 when it appeared in mono on the semi-legal album RarestOneBowie. It was subsequently included, again in mono, on The Best of David Bowie 1969/1974, the 30th Anniversary edition of Aladdin Sane, and the 2-disc US version of Best of Bowie. A stereo version circulates unofficially among collectors, as does a version consisting of the backing track for Mott the Hoople's version with Bowie's guide vocal. A variant of this version, combining Bowie's vocal on the choruses with Ian Hunter on the verses, was released on the 2006 reissue of All the Young Dudes. Bowie's first released version was in 1974 on the David Live double LP. Bowie
