Station to Station is so gooood!

Lazarus is a fucking great song.

What song will Pearl Jam add to their set lists to try and attach themselves in some minor way to his legacy?

Will David Grohl get a new tattoo?

They covered "Fame" 9 times in 1996.

Definitely purposely and i think this is why he released what turned out to be his final album when he had literally days to live, with no indication whatsoever that he was terminally ill. People even hoped he'd tour again.

I think the fact that he was able to sustain his career at a point when his new recordings are still highly anticipated and very well received up to his death (rather than being just a living legend aka nostalgia act) is mind blowing and i can't really picture anybody else but Bowie pulling something like this off.

I think the schism between the music and the man was intentional as well. It helped facilitate his moving from genre to genre. The focus was always on having the listener love the music and not the man.

There you go. They'll break that out again, prolly. That makes sense.

Or they'll start doing Under Pressure with guest opening acts.

Blood and Daughter tags are insufficient for modern Pearl Jam coverblasting.

Especially if it means we'd have to hear Eddie die some gruesome vocal death every night trying to sing Blood.

I'm sure they'll do Space Oddity at some point. Because Ed can growl that in his low register. And they think they've got the Pink Floyd psychedelic thing down pat at this point.

Death is a Blackstar.

They could do a credible version of "Diamond Dogs," I think. Pretty straightforward rock tune, well in Eddie's register.

Not quite a big enough hit tho.

The question would be, why? I don't recall Bowie being mentioned as an influence. It would just be riding coattails (or following the hearse in this instance). Unfortunately, Pearl Jam has shown they are not above this.
