1. Suffragette City
2. Modern Love (don't judge -- I love this song)
3. Ziggy Stardust
4. Ashes to Ashes
5. Space Oddity
Modern Love almost made my top 5, but ended up choosing Under Pressure instead.

I got no problem with those being top 5 picks either.

I got no problem with most of these.

I am going to tabulate the results based on a 5 pts for 1st, 4 pts for 2nd etc. Don't tell my work, this is a monumental waste of time.
