I wonder how much one would pay for the world?

"Well crafted" is my usual response. Seems to satisfy most and makes me feel ok about not apearing too pretentious. |

Great song - but think Lulu did a much better version than Nirvana in fact everything Lulu has done is better than Nirvana!

A first-time hear for me. Had no idea that they covered this tune. Marvy to hear immediately after Lady Grinning Soul. Not altogether different than the original, but still quite worthwhile. Thanks.

If you can answer that question easily, than you won't be spending any time here.

They're both great. Bowie's version is preferred only because of the chanting on the coda. So otherworldly....

I always liked this version better than Bowie's. Cobain really puts himself into it. I think he really connected to the song on a personal level.

The feedback adds to this live performance. It wouldn't be as good without it.

I prefer this version to the Bowie's. The instruments are basically the same, but the singing is more to my liking.

Does your statement have a "deeper" meaning...? Certainly you are right. Iggy for example has been very deep into Bowie! |

Love it love it love it. Great record and a great cover Much more pathos than the Thin White Duke evoked.

Hmm... The Shatner/Ben Folds "Common People" and now Nirvana's version of "The Man Who Sold the World". Do I, perhaps, detect a fellow Cracked reader among the RP Airplay Assembly Line Elf Squadron?

 Nicely and pithily put, and I'm not taking the pith :o) Maybe Bill & Beckie could use that as RP's strapline? |
