Poll of the week: The first was the best

Published 2010-03-29

When it comes to the songs Bruce wrote specifically for movies there is no doubt: his first attempt is still the best. "Streets of Philadelphia" from 1993, included in the movie Philadelphia, won in a landslide. With 323 votes, it received more than twice as many as the runner up: "The Wrestler" (170 votes). "Lift Me Up" came in third (56 votes), "Dead Man Walkin'" was number four (42 votes) and "Missing" had to settle for the last spot (26 votes). Again, I personally voted for the loser. I always loved "Missing". I even prefer it to its close relative, "You're Missing". Musically, it's much more interesting and its images stronger. Needless to say I also prefer it to "Streets of Philadelphia", which from the very first time I heard it sounded like very average Bruce to me. And after more than 15 years I still don't understand its appeal.

This weeks poll takes a look at, well, Bruce's looks. I admit, it was a bit rushed. Hence the lack of voting options between 1995 and present days. Not that he's changed all that much in the last 10 years, but still. Also, it's pretty hard to explain his looks in three words and without any picture examples. So why don't I make up for that by posting some picture examples here? Well, here you go....
