poll coming soon

Funny you pull up this as a thread - I was reading the Lester Bangs book on Thursday lunchtime, and was giggling (again) to Mr Bangs' murdering of D Bowie's "Young Americans" tour - basically calling DB on his warmed-up Al Jolson routines.

Get rid of the crappy R Stones cover. Please!

Pookie · 07.06.2008, 05:15 PM

Where's the "all of them" option?

Cantankerous · 07.07.2008, 06:31 PM

Everyneurotic · 07.07.2008, 06:37 PM

you're on my "dead to me" list now

no just kidding

but his version of "my death" and "let's spend the night together" are nothing short of brilliant. i don't know that i've ever heard another cover he's done.

Everyneurotic · 07.07.2008, 06:58 PM

"waiting for the man"

*shudder*

MellySingsDoom · 07.07.2008, 08:21 PM

Ladies and gents, when it comes to Bowie murdering songs, may I present to you his version of Martha and the Vandella's "Dancing In The Street".

that was mick jagger's fault

okay by me because i can't stand that song to begin with

MellySingsDoom · 07.07.2008, 08:33 PM

Good Bowie cover - his version of Iggy Pop's "China Girl" - a bit heavy on the 1980's production cheese, but otherwise very nice.

Cantankerous · 07.07.2008, 08:35 PM

basically all of them except for dancing in the street, which, again, was mostly mick jagger's doing.

Cantankerous · 07.07.2008, 08:40 PM

terrifying

MellySingsDoom · 07.07.2008, 08:49 PM

Ewww, look at Mick Jagger's mullet! That's going to replace sarramkrop in my nightmares!

Everyneurotic · 07.07.2008, 10:03 PM

if you're a slave to glam rock, let's talk about the sweet then.

guitarwolf · 07.08.2008, 12:32 AM

Bowie has done some awful covers but he has done some amazing ones eg. "Sorrow" off Pinups and "Wild is the Wind" off Station to Station.

Cantankerous · 07.08.2008, 12:36 AM

i forgot about pin-ups too! i haven't listened to that in ages.
