Great song of course... and I'm a big fan of Ray Davies and the Kinks (my favorite band of all time) and Bowie too but this isn't as good a cover as the one Peter Gabriel did - best option: hearing Ray sing it solo.
@petervankan1 - Peter, when an artist as big as David Bowie takes the time to learn someone else's song -- a competitor's song -- it's showing respect. It may not be the best version -- it doesn't have to be. It's one artist tipping his hat to another because that artist -- Ray Davies -- is that good. Peter Gabriel did the same. Elvis Costello did it with "Days." I am not a fan of Bowie -- but I like that he tried.
I usually hate covers, but Bowie shows his class again, he kept the origins of the song intact and added his own. This is the way covers should be.

This is possibly the best rock song of all time. Bowie was great, but this is a pale version.

Idk this just doesn't satisfy me. He doesn't have the best voice for this song in particular.
