I think enough time has passed to get this moving again Wow, did not even realize that it has been a month since this was updated. I know that really getting the gist of Bowie takes time, but nearly two months?

heh, would be a convenient excuse to just say I wanted the time for everyone to dig through every corner of Bowie's discography, but the unfortunate truth is I don't really have the time that I did over the summer with the semester starting up again to reliably keep up with this anymore. I definitely want to close out this vote because it would be unfair to those who spent the time working on lists to not have their results mean something. So before I close it out, I'll make a post later tonight when I'm back home not on mobile to tag everyone who hasn't submitted to see if anyone is still interested in filling out a list. Depending on the response there I'll determine the final (but actually this time) deadline and then publish the Bowie results. After that I'm not sure when I'll be back to make the poll for another artist but I wouldn't want to continue and risk more situations like this with two month voting periods. Let me know if you haven't sent in a list and are still interested in submitting, I'll post a list of the 14 ballots I have tonight so everyone can be sure if their votes were counted and we'll go from there. Thanks and sorry for the delay, unfortunately life > pulse!

I'm definitely more of a fan of the 80s Bowie. That was his best decade.

based on the response so far (thanks for the list dm!) it doesn't look like anyone needs a huge amount of time to finish their list.
The final deadline for the Bowie list is this Friday, September 29th at Midnight ET. I'll have the final results up by the end of the weekend.

And let's not forget that Scary Monsters was released in 1980...and maybe you can count the Labyrinth soundtrack. The problem is that the 80s were also the decade where he released his two worst albums. Maybe you can make an argument for Tonight, but Never Let Me Down is downright awful.

After a long delay, here are the Bowie results! A lot of variety and a very tight race inside the Top 10! Not sure if it took longer to compile the results or make the banner at the top of them.
...and with that, unfortunately Pulse Top 10s returns to hiatus earlier than expected. I'd love to continue but waiting two months per artist isn't that great, so I'll have to wait until my schedule allows for this again. Thanks as always for your continued participation!

Let's Dance & Fame missing the Top 10 was a surprise...but the winner seems fairly predictable

I'm surprised that "Lazarus" song made top 3. I'm surprised it made the top 10. I guess a lot of you really like that one? Great tlist BTW, but I didn't take "Under Pressure" into consideration, because, It's not a David Bowie song. It's on Queen's "Hot Space" album, and David does guest vocals. It really doesn't sound anything like a David Bowie style song either. I might as well see "Dancing In The Street" on this list.

Lazarus is just such a haunting song, especially considering his death not long after the video was released.

The idea of reviving the Pulse Top 10s has been a popular one among us on Discord lately, but we haven't found anyone able up to do it...until now. With the blessing of Web himself, I'll be taking over for Season 3 of the Pulse Top 10s! One common thought that we've had is whether we should try to rerank some of the artists that we've already ranked (especially those that have released new material since) at some point. Either way, I've created a poll on whether we should try this out or only do new artists.

Anyways...onto who we're ranking next. Despite only being on for four ballots, The Killers edge out The Cure (who have waited 11 ballots) and Arcade Fire (who made their debut last time) by one vote to be our next artist. Meanwhile, 311 and Panic! at the Disco are both out. Their replacements on the ballot are The National (making their first ballot appearance), New Order, and INXS. Vote for The Killers here!Your ballots will be due by Friday, May 25th, 8:00 PM EDT.

Panic at the Disco leaving for The National :} (or on the (mr.) brightside INXS/New Order)
Anyway yeah, I'll definitely do this Killers one (hopefully we get to do The Cure as wellsoon). I might actually go through and listen to their whole discography if I have the time.

It's been awhile since I've listened to their first three albums, so I'm looking forward to re-visiting them specifically. I'll be shocked if anything from the new album is on there.

sent, kinda realized I'm not a huge fan of The Killers aside from a few select songs off each album. Flowers' voice gets pretty tiring after a while

Just submitted, I managed to make a top 10 out of their most forgotten songs, lol.

My list has: -6 from Hot Fuss -3 from Sam's Town -1 Day & Age -0 from Sawdust, Battle Born, and Wonderful Wonderful
Choosing a bottom 4 or 5 was much tougher than the top half.

Submitted: 2 from Hot Fuss 2 from Sam's Town 2 from Day & Age 1 from Sawdust 2 from Battle Born 1 from Wonderful Wonderful
The Killers are my 3rd favorite band of all time, but my taste regarding their songs usually veers from the obvious or popular. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Didn't get the chance to listen to their whole discography like I'd planned (and don't think I will), so went ahead and submitted, I don't think many of these would be displaced anyway.
