    Oasis - I am the Walrus (I love the beatles version as well)
    Faith No More - Easy
    Peter Frampton - Baby I Love Your Ways
    Ramones - Baby I Love You (love the original too)
    Manic St Preachers - Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
    The Last Shadow Puppets - In the Heat of the Morning
    Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World
    Happy Mondays - Step On
    Absolutely love Bowie, but I prefer Nirvanas version of TMWSTW on MTV unplugged so much more. Feel like his singing goes with the lyrics better.
