Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

cover me impressed 
John Cale does a good version, but didn’t stray far from the arrangement of the original.
Bowie does alter the song, and I like what he does with it.
Iggy delivers a stripped down version, with his distinctive vocals and almost got the vote.
Talking Heads’ cover was hampered by poor sound.
Bowie gets today’s vote.
