Song of the Day: The Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana - Lemmy.World

my dad always had this dvd playing like every weekend. this song was permanently implanted onto my brain playlist link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6F3sCPmocAQDMNRNg7TZZb [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6F3sCPmocAQDMNRNg7TZZb]

It’s funny. Because of my age and culture growing up I didn’t hear a lot of David Bowie. I heard a lot of his songs as covers first, and in many cases I prefer the covers over the original. Even when I heard the original first I sometimes prefer the cover

I think The Man Who Sold the World is a good example of that. I’ve known it’s a David Bowie song since the first time I heard Kurt say “that was a David Bowie song”. But I will always think of Kurt and Nirvana first when I hear it. Which makes me the Xennial equivalent of those kids that said the Beatles covered the Justin Bieber song Let It Be. And I accept that
