Another vote for T.Rex I love Bauhaus but you can't beat a bit of T.Rex they were at the forefront of the British Glam Rock movement in the 70's along with David Bowie, The Sweet, Mud, Chicory Tip, Slade, Suzie Quatro, Roxy Music, Kenny and Gary Glitter (we don't mention him or play his music in the UK anymore due to his "liking" of children)

I like the original T. Rex track but if i had to chose, i'll take the energetic cover by Bauhaus ! Bauhaus also did an astounding version of Brian Eno's "Third Uncle" on their third album The Sky's Gone Out in 1982 (this track was actually recorded by the BBC for the David Jensen show and included on the album because the band liked it).

T Rex the original and the best. Marc Bolan often copied and imitated but never bettered. That bauhaus singer (if thats what you call him) sounds like he's ready for the nuthouse. Marc Bolan's lyrics didn't make any sense but who cares ? his music was great. He dreamt, drank read music 24 hours a day, that's what pushed him forward and made him the great star he was. He had 14 top 20 hits and 4 number 1 hits because he was so dedicated.

Another great comparison would be T.REX -Cosmic Dancer compared with NICK CAVE-Cosmic Dancer. Though Cosmic Dancer was not a single it has become one of Bolan's best know songs due to several covers and also use in the movie BILLY ELLIOT. Nick Cave's version is from the album ANGEL HEADED HIPSTER a tribute album to T.Rex featuring many artists including Joan Jett, Elton Joh, U2, Sean Lennon and many others which came out last year.

But the truth is Tony Visconti took the photo after Marc handed him his camera and asked Tony to snap away.To this day Visconti plays war that he didn't get the credit.

I heard Marc live in 1975 and he was always better live. The guitar work was fantastic. Heavier and superior to both his single and the cover. Marc was always better live.

Usually originals are better, and of course T-Rex are great, but I much prefer the Bauhaus version. I prefer them as a band generally, so it's not surprising. I wasn't so keen on their cover of Ziggy Stardust - it was fine but too close to the original. But with this, they energised it and gave it that wild darkness, which I love.
