Didn't know this was Bowie at first either.. when I was 12 a friend of mine showed me Dinosaur Jr, this song 1st and I loved it. Listening to it now, it's awesome how he changed 75% of the lyrics and the guitar too. Same chords but, the way he plays it especially in the beginning, sounds very much like Pink Floyd's song Wish You Were Here. I love it! Btw huge Bowie fan here, the original is timeless!!!
the lovelsong for my early years of college.. sitting on the curb in SD waiting for my skare bf. awwwww. good memories..........................." should I leave the engine on to listen to that mountain song... "
I accidentally ended up with this album when I was in high school. I remember it being nearly completely un-listenable, but this one gem, it's a great song.
I heard this in my Photography class today. I was so confused at first, because it started off sounding like Andy Warhol, then it wasn't David Bowie and the lyrics were also different.
I never knew this was a David Bowie song until today. I've loved the Dinosaur Jr. version since the early 90s.
J Mascus is actually a genius. Great guy too. This song helped me mourn the loss of my station wagon in high school. RIP

Excellent version of Bowies best song
I like how it starts off with them playing Bowie's Andy Warhol and then merges into Quicksand.
I love the different interpretation Dinosaur Jr. takes with this one.
I captured this song in Aalst in the free record store when I was 17...and got overwhelmed....x
The bulldog on the cover has eye heterochromia. Subtle touch DJr.
Didn't realize this a cover of David Bowie. Wow!
I don't even know why people are so mad. It's a COVER obviously. Let me say that again COVER. This is a great dinosaur Jr cover in my opinion
I'm closer to the golden dawn
I can't believe the wagon's gone
It's history
WOW!!! LIOVE THIS!!!
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn

Always the perfect cover... Soz Mr Bowie, but that's just spot on...
I love how the intro is "Andy Warhol" and then it turns into "Quicksand".

J has covered The Smiths, The Cure and now Bowie... He is just a little too cool to be true :O
Aw, no one has this live
