I don't usually go for the Magnetic Fields but their cover of Heroes is really good. In terms of universal recognition for David Bowie covers I'd think the only thing that kind of comes close is something like All The Young Dudes but that's a pretty different situation than "Nirvana covers a David Bowie song 20 years later". For weird Bowie-tangential things, Mick Ronson's solo work is kind of like stumbling onto lost Ziggy outtakes; the quality's really inconsistent but I like Growing Up and I'm Fine, which I'm pretty sure was a cast-off Bowie track. e: Now that I've cheated and poked around Spotify for Bowie covers, the M. Ward cover of Let's Dance is also pretty alright (and apparently something like the song was before Bowie brought it into the studio?), if a little long for my tastes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbxQ9bvdZgU Cockblocktopus fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Jan 14, 2016 |

The cover of Space Oddity that was made in actual space is a perfectly fine cover version as well, even if there's nothing particularly transformative about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo

Mike Garson put out an album of Bowie tracks called The Bowie Variations that's him playing jazz piano to the rough structure of Bowie songs and it's really, really good.

Honestly the live albums are a good way to get around the catalog while still having Ziggy material as a backbone. David Live and Stage have fans and detractors but the Santa Monica album is a Ziggy period show and I think the Reality tour album is pretty well regarded in general (I'd certainly recommend it but I also really like the Reality album).

Earwicker posted:one of Bowie's greater but unrecognized moments as Visionary and Prophet occurred on the fifth track of Low wherein he accurately predicted Billy Joel's later years To be fair the sixth track is also a good punchline for this joke, considering Billy Joel's biography.
