Although I love Bowie, I have to admit that Pagan's Mind did an awesome job covering this song. It's heavy and powerful while maintaining that Bowie feel
I remember getting a best of with the pet shop boys version of this album and being disapointed. I thought 'Outside' and 'Earthling' were terrible albums, but they aren't. In fact, 'Outside' Is becoming one of my favourite Bowie albums!
Outside is one of the most underestimated albums of David Bowie. I always found it a pity that he didn't went through with the project only because it didn't sell well enough. It is such a rich album, and it has a similar detachment in its depiction of the various characters like Bladerunner. Along with Earthling the best from Bowie in the nineties.

pokemaster1012 Spam "Major Tom is a fictional astronaut created by David Bowie,-----> major tom?!?!? that fictional character was called ziggy stardust
He has multiple Alter egos, major tom was in his first hit,'space oddity' ziggy stardust was made up of stardust cowboys which scored 277 on rolling stones 500 greatest songs of all time
It was the first astronaut to go to the observatory on Jupiter. David Bowie was really great friends with him until one day when a Jovian Whale shrouded him in sulfur, killing him immediately. Bowie was greatly disturbed by this, hence him writing songs about it.
Well, like ove both artists, and I like both versions equally. I think D. Bowie's version has this chaotic, more stressy feeling to it, compared to PSB. PSB's version sounds a bit more relaxing and cool, like being in space. I'd listen to both anyday.
I don't know why all you whinny little pricks are saying the pet shop boys suck and all that shit David Bowie didn't think so. So why don't you just shut your mouths and have a real appreciation for music like some of us do. bunch of little bitches.
ok what is with you people?! there is NO pet shop boys version!!! David bowie Wrote it therefore it is HIS song!!! those petshop queers couldnt write a masterpeice like this!!! they pretty much ruined this song
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
its not like there was anything to ruin. it makes sense that someone like the pet shop boys would cover such a terrible song. this has got to be bowie's worst. and i love david bowie, he just has some really terrible songs too, like this and lets dance.
@SoftballChickie18 Just so you know, attempting to insult gay people by calling them gay is a bit silly. Good job stating the obvious. Though dunno that chris is. But anyhow, Bowie seems to have been pretty down with them "ruining" his song and has performed this live with them...
The Pet Shop Boys version has no soul, this is a much grittier and much catchier version in my opinion. Shame that it had to be popularized to be a single :(
I only said that cause u were talking shit first. But I have better things to do than sit here and trade insults with a child. Only reason I even respond is cause I get alerts in my email.
