DAVID BOWIE // COVERED

Here you will find a collection of covers from Bowie’s catalog as performed by indie and alternative artists from the past couple of decades. I tried not to source too hard from any one tribute, and did my best to keep away from random live covers (there are only 3 included). All in all, I stuck with some of my favorites and some new ones that I had previously not known existed. Are there some covers that I missed - sure. Most of those were instances of choosing who I felt covered a particular track the best.

So without further ado, here are classic songs by David Bowie as re-interpreted by artists over the years.

This is sadly lacking in my second favorite Bowie cover (my favorite is the Vivian Girls’ cover of John, I’m Only Dancing), Heroes done by The Magnetic Fields. Loads better than TV on the Radio.
