I’ve seen a number of people here say they prefer Nirvana’s cover of The Man Who Sold the World to David Bowie’s original. I’m sorry, but, to me, Bowie’s is a masterpiece of atmosphere and meaning, far better than any cover (and Kurt Cobain would say the same). The outro alone is amazing. #Bowie

Nirvana's cover is excellent, and the Unplugged version better still, IMO. But yeah, Bowie's in his own class on this. Thx for reminding me - I just listened to that last minute or so. Ethereal rock & roll right there.
