Young Dudes moves me more, especially as I get older. It's less enigmatic, less obtuse, less dazzling and original as a creation but it communicates something quite powerful and universal in a way that Mars doesn't. A celebration of youth with a chorus anthemic enough to make you punch the air as a teenager and snog a strange lass behind the bike sheds but with enough major/minor melancholy and resignation to make you mourn its passing as an adult. It's clever like that.
Mars is like a musical Feberge egg or something. It's almost like an exercise in showing off. I've never understood what it's really about, which is fine, so it possesses this air of unknowable mystery and magic but I have to kind of be in the mood for it.

Of his "big" songs, I'd take 'Space Oddity' over both. That still manages to convey a real "otherness".

I began by thinking 'Oh no, this is terrible' but by the end I was enjoying it. You can tell Tennant really loves the song.

I dunno, I prefer the ad-libbing in the choruses. Tennant's repetitious "I'm a doodad" isn't terribly exciting.
