Battle of the Bands: David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes

Today's Battle of the Bands  features the song "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie. You can watch/listen to his version below.


You don't vote for his version. You vote for one of the contenders below in the comments. I total them up a few days later and post who the winner is in a new post. 


First Contender: Scott Weiland


Second Contender: Eric McFadden


Hope you enjoyed the Battle and I look forward to seeing who you choose as the winner.

I'm going to go with Eric McFadden's cover. I didn't like the musical backing on Scott Weiland's.

I like this song a great deal. In fact I used it to kick off my A to Z posts this year.

You picked a couple of good versions. I like them both though there is somewhat of a cacophony to Weiland's version. Eric McFadden's version is a bit more pleasant to my ears.

A vote for Eric McFadden.

I'm sorry, I had a bit of a Bowie blip occur. I gotta go with Scott Weiland's version, though it sounded like he was trying pretty hard to channel The Thin White Duke himself.

McFadden was just okay in the book o' Cherdo.

Thanks!

The first cover stuck pretty close to the original, which was fine, but Eric's voice really blew me away! My vote goes to Eric McFadden. I went Youtube browsing for more. He's fantastic! Like this one:

What a data of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable knowledge about unexpected emotions.

I liked Scott Weiland's version the best.

I like the first version better even though he stuck really close to the original. I didn't care much for the 2nd guy with his style...I felt it was a little bit of reggae or maybe I am wrong...anywho, first guy gets my vote

Mike,

Whew, I'm cutting it to the chase to get over here to vote. It's just been a busy, crazy past several days. Anyhow, I need to make this brief since I'm really behind. Please give my vote to Eric McFadden. His cover overall appealed to my ears best.
