I fixed it for you.


There are actually several other songs about or related to Major Tom. Many (including David Bowie) believe Major Tom is Elton John's "Rocket Man". I think the two most recognizable versions are the ones in the poll.

 

[BroncoMama]

Definitely David Bowie.

 

[Dominic]

I am just saying I hate Kate rips it but I'll give credit to David Bowie.

I'm a fan of the '80s version. David Bowie is kinda weird for me for some reason. Both are pretty good versions though. Checking out the Dom reference....


(I love some of the newer covers---there's that newish Zeppelin cover that ROCKS--I think it's GodSmack with Good Times, Bad Times)

[Exalted 4x4]

I like this version.

[spaggyroe]

Definitely not David Bowie.
He friggin creeps me out man!

 

[Meat_]

I like both, but Bowie's is better.

 

[Jeremy]

they are all good. but bowie gets the vote.

 

[Tacoma]

No one can beat the original.

I have yet to hear a cover that really irritates me though. It's a good song.

 

[Jarrod74]

I like the orignal too

 

[Bart]

Gotta go with the original. Anybody can sing something that's already written, as proved by Adam Sadler.

 

[Milner]

Bowie's is the classic, but Peter Schillings is the one I hear in my head when I think of the song....to hard to choose.

I like the IHK version too! I am surprised anybody else knows who they are. Zebra Head just isn't the same without Justin. IHK carries on though!

 

[Bear@BlackWidow]

Sandler is tops, but give credit to bowie for the original. The others made my ears bleed.
