Wednesday Poll PLAYOFF #1

[Heston]

If it was the Bowie version of the Stones song I might have voted for it.

The only Bowie cover that bettered the original was "Where Have All the Good Times Gone."

And yeah, the board has lost its mind. I may never recover from this.

Don’t know whose was the cover but Mott’s version of All The Young Dudes is better than Bowie’s.

Bowie wrote it for them. Mott is the definitive version but Bowie is on it.

Have you heard Bowies cover of The Replacements Black Diamond?

Thanks I knew Bowie gave it to them just wasn’t sure if he had used it first.
This is Good.

Don't talk, just KISS as Right Said Fred once said.

Serious crazy talk.

Won't you tell me where have Heston's marbles gone.

[Wolter]

If it was the Bowie version of the Stones song I might have voted for it.

Yeah one of the rare occasions where I prefer the cover to the original.

Weird. I don’t much care for that. It feels lifeless.

[Wolter]

I think Bowie has about a 50-50 record with covers. And I mean 50-50 good vs. not good, not 50-50 better than the original.

For example, his cover of Cactus is good, but the original is better.

Same here. 'Aladdin Sane' is one of my top 3 Bowie albums, certainly top 20 albums in general, but it's the weakest song (or "track", rather) on that album. Just feels stiff, forced and overly frenetic in some fashion.

[Marky Dread]

If it was the Bowie version of the Stones song I might have voted for it.

Yeah one of the rare occasions where I prefer the cover to the original.

Weird. I don’t much care for that. It feels lifeless.

When I first heard it many years ago I wasn't keen on it after hearing the Stones so much. It sounded kinda jarring but now i love it and genuinely enjoy it more than the original. But hey both are great.

[Marky Dread]

This version kills the Stones version.

For the record, I think it’s musically good. It’s Bowie’s vocals. They just fall flat for me.

I admit it was the vocal that first put me off the song by Bowie. But I really dig it now.

[BitterTom]

Late surge for ABBA but given the other polls, this is done. Sigh.

[Marky Dread]

Let's not spend the night with ABBA.
