From under the covers...(another music thread)

Bowie - Man Who Sold The World.

I PREFER THE NIRVANA VERSION.

Me too. It's different enough to be judged on its own merit, but also respectful to the source material. I think it's just more heartfelt and moving, really.

I love Bowie too mind.

I could do loads of these. There's loads of great covers.

This is one of my favourites:

Cover: [video=youtube;3inmvaVN22Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3inmvaVN22Q[/video]

What I love about this cover is that while The Stooges' version is pretty goddman primal, but still kinda bubblegum, and still has a swagger, by pushing the guitar riff to the forefront and combining that with Jason's rather more detached vocal the Spacemen take it down to an absolute caveman "ug-ug" level. Brilliant.

Hallelujah: original-Leonard Cohen and cover- Jeff Buckley. Prefer Buckley's version but still doesn't diminish Cohen's legend (Buckley was just that good)

Great cover.

Amazing. He's got a knack for covers that man.

I did see that, but I thought it deserved more of a recognition so i put it on its own post. I should have given you credit.

I actually thought of starting the huge list with that song, video included and stuff, as it's just great...

In a rare appearance I'm going for some Brazilian Bowie covering. Hope you're all well
