I'll give the nod to old Davey, but I quite like the Nirvana version as well.

I can't recall any Bowie song done better by someone else, though the Wallflowers' version of "Heroes" was a nice try.

Can anyone else think of Bowie songs done better as covers?

Nirvana fans.

It was pretty obscure as Bowie's song, the Nirvana release got more air play and recognition.

Bet a lot didn't even know about the Bowie one.

You need to revise your poll; the unplugged Nirvana remake is far superior to Bowie and the normal studio album, but Bowie is better than the studio album.

Nirvana fans.
  1. Say no more... :roll:
...unplugged Nirvana remake is far superior...
  1. If the lead singer's voice quality isn't factored in!
