Battle royale: Best cover of 'Man Who Sold the World'
So, mes amores, if you hadn't gathered by the somewhat-persistent music videos planted here, I am something of a Bowie fan. The song that made me a Bowie fan, as it were, was The Man Who Sold the World, a brilliant split-personality-off that might've doubled as a space western anthem.
So I ask you: who embarrasses it least with their cover?
(by the way, check this shit out: )
And, of course, any others you can think of.

I've always loved Lulu's version, but you can't really beat Nirvana at this game. What a great song.
Anything that includes Trent Reznor gets points just for existing.
Nirvana. Hands down.
Damn, all of these are blocked at my office and I can't even see who's doing the covers, but I'll vote for Nirvana even though I'm with Jose on the Trent Reznor comment.
Not very often I find myself in a majority, but it has to be the Nirvana version. No question.
And I'm pretty sure that Gorillaz "cover" is just a fan-made vid with Nirvana synced.
Fitz: This is irrelevent in the face of pretty, pretty pictures. But maybe.
