There's a lot of nuance to this song and Nirvana hits none of it.I was never a Nirvana fan, but this is a great cover of David Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World.
yes I loved this song when I came out and I still have the original 45 ..... and there have been many covers of it...3 or 4 I've put on the ''covers song thread'' here on the forumThere's a lot of nuance to this song and Nirvana hits none of it.
Glen altho' he had hits in the UK, was very underrated outside of the US... and he was a fabuous all round entertainerLove listening to Glen play that 12 string... and with a symphony to boot.
Sorry, but I prefer the intensity of the Nirvana version. It's much grittier than the glam-rock original -- a genre which I never really got into. That type of music (glam-rock) could go into the 'what makes you go "ick"' thread. But if that's your thing, good for you!There's a lot of nuance to this song and Nirvana hits none of it.
