So, my theory is that while David Bowie is a good song writer, he's not a great musician.
However, I really only have these two examples. Can anyone think of any other David Bowie cover songs? How do they compare to the original? Would you like to mention any other covers that are better than the original? Or should we save that for another thread...

You're right! I think the same thing. All the bands that cover Bowie songs sound better. Good song writer. Okay musician. I heard the Nirvana version of "The Man who Sold the World," before Bowie's,.......Bowie's version wasn't really that good.
