TV On The Radio – Heroes (David Bowie Cover)

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.

More cover greatness from Heroes, this time its 2008′s shining stars on the title track. The promise of covering ’s “Heroes” was, of course, the most mouthwatering treat this compilation had to offer us. And, as planned, the cover melts my face.

Is it better than the original? Of course not. How do you top this? But it’s better than any other “Heroes” cover out there (you hear that Wallflowers?).

Take a listen after the jump
