Ok this time I have a close one Iggy Pop’s “China Girl” vs. David Bowie’s version.
First Iggy Pop
Next David Bowie
Usually I am the first one to talk about David Bowie’s musical superiority over anyone, and this is no exception. Iggy’s version was raw and powerful and so was Bowie’s but he still made it his song.
Not too long ago somebody recommended that I learn about the historical roots of the music that I presently enjoy. You know what? Old time “garage rock” of the 60s just doesn’t have the same appeal to me as newer stuff. I tried Count Five’s Psychotic Reaction and Iggy Pop’s Raw Power and while there are some gems on those records, they just aren’t as fun through and through as say Black Lips! or Blood Visions.
