 "Suffragette City" was originally offered to the band Mott the Hoople, but they declined, recording Bowie's "All the Young Dudes" instead.Described by Perone as a "straight-ahead" track, it features a piano riff heavily influenced by Little Richard and one of Bowie's earliest uses of the ARP synthesiser, which would later become the backbone of his Berlin Trilogy.The track has acoustic guitar from Bowie, but is mostly buried in the mix under Ronson's electric guitar.
