I hate to say it, but the recording quality really sucks, and apparently they didn't learn anything from their first covers album, because this song has the same problems. I'm not a sound engineer, but I think it's overly compressed or something. As with most of the songs on the first album, its well performed, but unlistenable. It's got zero dynamics. Maybe it sounds OK on an ipod.
I love this version. Sweet's got nice pipes. I love this CD. Their covers of Sugar Magnolia, Bell Bottom Blues, and Go All the Way are terrific as well.
Objectively Bruce Dickinson has better chops for this cover. This song should inspire you to rock out. These two are a bit too mellow on this version.
Not one of my favorite Bowie songs, but this is a good Bowie-sounding re-arrangement. And of course I am in love with Susanna Hoffs since the first time I saw her in a Bangles' video.
Ok, tell me what do you know about Mott, because I can think of a few songs in their catalog that are just as good if not better and obscure enough to where it would not just be a routine cover of a classic rock staple. This is note for note boring
Ha, Matthew Sweet does 'Ian Hunter's rap

So true--Matthew gives it a *serious* Bowie feel--it's so obvious now, isn't it? Love it.
