...has to be "Spiders" by the Vapors. Could have been on any of Bowie's late 70's albums and not only would listeners not realize the difference, it would be one of the better tracks on the album.

judging strictly by song title and appearance, I'd have to say Be-Bop Deluxe from 1974:


Jet Silver And The Dolls Of Venus

Close, but BBD was just too guitar-wanky to really qualify.

They did have the look, though, and a good part of the sound.

BTW, someone once compared my guitar playing to BBD's Bill Nelson.

I might agree, except he is really rather good.

I liked the way BauHaus did Ziggy.

wicked Bowie-esque..they did a cover once of one of his tunes, and I swear, when the singer rolled his eyeballs back into his sockets..I mean, WAY back!...he looked a little like someone who might have been onstage with someone who was covering a Bowie tune...
