What are some of /mu/'s favorite Bowie covers?
Right now, I seem to be incapable of listening to anything other than the Melvins cover of Station to Station: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pabmB-2SFsA
Blondie - Heroes

Not bad, but that song is so perfect that no cover can really do it justice. Bowie's finest moment imo.
Blondie's take on Heroes is good as someone has said. I also think Nirvana's TMWSTW is worthy of the original.

I dunno. The vocals aren't anywhere near Bowie's, but whose are? The rest retains the rich darkness of the original, while also adding a grime to it, adding an extra dimension.

The original has been my favourite song from the very first time I heard it many years ago, so I'm gonna be very biased towards it when comparing the two, but yeah, they certainly did a very good job even coming close to it with that cover
Eater-Queen Bitch
King Crimson - Heroes

Beck's cover of Sound And Vision is powerful.
midge ure's "man who sold the world" is pretty good, if overrated

Sucks that the r/gaming faggots plagued the song with LE HIDEO KOJIMA
>>63642188
The Man Who Sold The World equals Bowie's original IMO.

By nirvana fuck sake
>>63645057
>>63644994
both are true
Nirvana ruled Man Who Sold The World better than any song Kurt ever wrote.
