In addition to being inspired to do a Bowie covers compilation by seeing the Feelies perform Fame in Something Wild, I should also cite Seu Jorge's great set of Bowie covers from the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack (specifically The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions cd) as inspiration. For some reason, I only got it earlier this year. Not only the cd is great, but it also validates my argument that the best tribute albums are usually one artist paying homage to another artist. (And yes, I realize that kind of invalidates my putting together a tribute compilation like this, but I prefer not to dwell on that. :) I also recognize that including Nirvana's version of The Man Who Sold the World is a bit on the obvious side (especially since Richard Barone's version is quite dandy). Blame it on my Gen Xer mentality if you must.

@anonymous,
I probably heard Dramarama at some point in the 80s, but I never really checked them out. What's their sound like?
