Music Forum Flame War #2 - Bowie Or Cobain?

Ah yes, "The Man Who Sold The World." One of the most infamous cases of being Covered Up, it even provided the page quote! There is much debate to which version is better. In one corner, we have Bowie's original heavily produced version. In the second corner, we have Nirvana's live, down to earth, unplugged cover version. But on the videos for either of these songs, you're gonna get some flame wars over which is better. These are from the Bowie version.

I've said it before: I love The Killers. And I'd love you to check out their latin-tinged cover of The Eagle's "Hotel California!"

The Song Overthinker #3 - "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons

Let's just cut the nonsense and get right into The Song Overthinker!

I'm waking up to ash and dust

Where did you sleep last night? Certainly not in the pines!

I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust

JESUS CHRIST MAN! When was the last time you had a shower!

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

O.O Seriously? It's been that long since you've bathed yourself? Okay, I can't take anymore of your nasty body drippings. I'm out for this segment of The Song Overthinker.
