Even better:? Nina Hagen's cover of Ziggy Stardust, but only if you watch the video.
I'm actually very iffy about the Flaming Lips' cover of Life on Mars? but that's because it's one of my favorite songs of all time and I'm a snot about Bowie covers sometimes, even by bands I love.
That said, Tori Amos did a pretty decent job with "After All" and Joan Jett certainly rocked "Rebel Rebel" but that's to be expected. The song practically screams "Cover me Joan! Cover me haaard."
I wonder if I made a nasty little noob faux pas by posting in a thread that's been dead for a couple weeks.
Given the mention of my Bowie obsession in my intro thread, I hope to be forgiven.
