Round of 64: (7) David Bowie - "Heroes" vs. (58) Otis Redding - Sitting on the Dock of Bay Bracket

Round one is here. 64 songs from 1960 to 2022. What song will come out on top? First few rounds will be posted in batches of four Mondays and Thursdays.

NOTICE: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE UNLESS YOU'VE HEARD BOTH SONGS. THEY'RE LIKE THREE MINUTES EACH IT ISN'T DIFFICULT.

For this matchup, we start with:

(7) David Bowie - "Heroes"

vs.

(58) Otis Redding - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

 

love otis, probably my favorite of that era, but it's bowie

 

Heroes. Tough draw for Otis.

 

Yeah I love that Otis song but Heroes is just magic.

 

if it was Try A Little Tenderness would probably go Otis but had to go Heroes

 

Probably cliche to say, but that's my favorite Bowie song, and a song I've loved for very close to my entire life. Easy pick.

 

Tough break for my guy here. Otis left this mortal world far too soon. Sad that his only #1 hit was released posthumously. Otis is and will always be my favorite artist.

 

Otis all day every day. Lotta JoJo Rabbit fans in here I see…

 

Both classics. Went Otis

 

have you heard the wallflowers' cover from godzilla 98

 

What a crazy question. Of course!

 

dudes rock

 

Since there’s an Oasis cover of it too, that means my first two favorite bands have both done versions of that song.

 

this is putting liam's voice doing one headlight in my head and honestly i think it'd rip

 

Voting for Otis because I love both but think Otis is likely to get less votes. Also: whistling.

 

Don't have the connection to "Heroes" that other do. Otis deserves the win imho

 

Yeah I mean "Heroes" is great, but I have such a love for "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay". Not many songs will beat it out. Acting like Heroes is undeniably the better song is silly.

 

Nobody is doing that?

 

???

 

Other threads don't count

 

lol

 

I think Pat was making fun of you for suggesting people only like “Heroes” because of its appearance in the 2019 film JoJo Rabbit, not because you voted for Otis Redding.

 

Which was, as everyone already knows, a pretty obvious joke.

 

respectfully, i’ve had him blocked for months and would rather not waste time discussing one of the least pleasant people i’ve encountered online

 

This loser was responding to me like 2 days ago haha what is going on?? You can't directly respond to my post and then pull the blocked card. Supreme dork energy there Patrick
