I was re-watching Stranger Things the other night with my stepson, and it never ceases to amaze me how much better Peter Gabriel‘s version of Heroes by David Bowie is.

Don't get me wrong, David's is excellent, but almost every cover of that song I've heard is better:  Oasis, Fripp, Blondie, Crimson.......

Yeah, the original Bowie version is kind of unlistenable for me.
