Peter Gabriel's is OK, but the jaunty melody is somewhat missing, and that contrast with the lonely lyrics is key for me.<br /><br />Bowie's version sucks! And the Jam try to turn it into a power pop song and the song suffers IMO.<br /><br />TreyTMinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221261635305430323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-8496586274744171932012-02-21T17:58:11.522-05:002012-02-21T17:58:11.522-05:00Just for comparison's sake:

It's an amazing song; thanks for sharing this killer arrangement. <br /><br />Out of interest, have you heard the Def Leppard version? It lacks the understated beauty of the original, but I like it. I think they managed to give the song a completely different take.Jonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725639560029388544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-50977453968037168592012-02-21T13:25:51.135-05:002012-02-21T13:25:51.135-05:00Still rocking.
