Today's Cover Battle! AFI Versus Bauhaus Versus Def Leppard

I think this should be a good one to get us all going on Monday. Pretty much everyone in the world likes David Bowie, right? And "Ziggy Stardust" is one of his most recognizable songs, so it's not surprising that people have covered it repeatedly.

 

For fun, I made this a three-way competition, though I'm pretty sure nobody is going to pick the last-minute "oh wow, I had no idea these guys covered this song" addition.

 

So, who did the better cover of the endlessly sexy "Ziggy Stardust"?

 

AFI, who did their cover live for AOL Sessions:

 

or
Bauhaus, who did a studio recording of the song:
or
Def Leppard, who I had no idea did a cover of this until I looked through Imeem:

Today's Cover Battle: AFI Versus Dinosaur Jr.

Today's cover battle has some interesting stats. Dinosaur Jr. did their cover years ago, and it was officially released by the band. AFI, meanwhile, did their cover as a part of an MTV tribute to The Cure. We're dealing with very different covers -- Dinosaur Jr not only makes the song their own, and AFI tries to stay as true to the original as possible. I mean, Davey is even singing as much like Robert Smith as he possibly can.

 

So, I hand it over to you, the people. Which cover reigns supreme? AFI or Dinosaur Jr?

 

AFI:

 

Dinosaur Jr.:
I'm having a hard time picking one. On one hand, I used to listen to the Dinosaur Jr. one all the time when I was in high school, and have always been a fan of the band. On the other hand, AFI is one of my favorite bands and I bet performing that cover for The Cure probably meant the world to them. I think I'm giving it to Dinosaur Jr., myself, but it's by a nose, if that.
Head to the comments to weigh in on this very important matter.
