Kurt. His voice suits the song better than Bowie.

It's a difficult one for me... I prefer the general vibe of Bowie, but it suits the timbre of Cobain so well.

I like both versions equally. I think the words are incredibly poigniant and love the melody.

Bowie by a long way, not a fan of Kurt in the slightest.

I hate myself. As a diehard Bowie fan, I do prefer Cobain for this one. Bowies version is too similar to Major Tom.

Love Bowie but has to be Kurts voice suits it…. that Nirvana Unplugged album is in my all time top 5. Love it.

Also why no LuLu as third choice??? Lol

Bowie. Kurt singing it live sounds nasally, and Bowie has a nicer chest voice for me.
