With such an illustrious career spanning across decades, David Bowie would go on to push the boundaries of rock and roll and become a major figurehead of music.

 

Bowie, with his unrelenting and unique talent, went on to inspire countless musicians throughout his career and, in homage to his brilliance, a number of those artists paid tribute to his work through their own renditions of his material.

 

The list for any avid Bowie fan may not be too much of a surprise. Naturally, there is room on the for the likes of Nirvana and Bauhaus with their covers of iconic Bowie tracks—but there are also a few unfamiliar musical tributes to the man.

 

Some acts choose to be like Icarus and go as close to the burning sun of Bowie as possible and, quite often, find the same fate as the Greek myth.

Always liked the Bauhaus and Nirvana covers. The Smashing Pumkins "Space Oddity" was pretty decent. I thought it was a shame that the Dinosaur Jr cover of "Quicksand" did'nt make their list.

My favourite Bowie cover is a German version of Heroes by Six By Seven which they did as part of a session on the John Peel show.
