Say whatever you want... this dude never rested on his laurels, and he was never artistically afraid of anything. Viva, maestro! {#Cheers}

The entire album seems to be a heavy / soft rock exploration by bowie. Quite nice. And it ROCKS!

So instantly likeable - haven't heard the original, but it's quality songwriting and it's Bowie, so you can't go wrong!

I didn't know that either, though I can hear his style in it now, especially in the guitar solo.  I think this is a great version, in any case.

So Neil's been doing a great cover of A Day in the Life on Tour.

Would love to here that to follow Bowie's Neil cover next time.

Follwed by the Beatle's covering say Buddy Holly.

And then Buddy covering.... don't know if he ever covered say —- Hank Williams

I don't like David Bowie.  As MBE says:  "Me and God hate this song".  {#Yes}  Only he says it much more artistically.

On this album, Bowie does cover the Pixies though—"Cactus".  This ended up being my favorite Bowie album.  Not the hippest or the most adventurous or most ambitious — but just very good to listen to.

For those of you who didn't think David could rock after the 70's were over, here's your proof.

Great great cover.

well David is as good as a singer as ol' Neil is, eh, shakey. Goes to show that technique is not really important in popular music - which makes it the most important present day art form, not spoiled by academics and theories. Which is exactly what I am borderlining right  now. BAd. But remarkably fresh sounding cover, though.

Wow, a Neil Young song I actually like, but then someone other than Neil is performing it. Divid Bowie is a God.


I find it remarkable that David Bowie, who is IMHO a far better singer than Neil Young, doesn't even come close to the original. It shows not only what a genius Neil Young is as a composer but also as a performer.

I wish I could hear some "Jamie's Cryin" on my FM Rock Hits station instead of the same ol' Van Halen standbys. At least when I want to read condescending elitist digs I know where to go. While I'm flaming tho, Radio Paradise intersects with plenty of the ol' rock hits such as Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Woodstock, Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue, Led Zeppelin - What Is And What Should Never Be, and The Who - Behind Blue Eyes (all of which you rated as 10). For the record, those are all cool songs.

If you want the great Neil Young as covered by the great David Bowie on an album cut that never got played on the radio stick to RP.
