Depending on your age and musical predilections, your mind automatically plays “The Man Who Sold the World†in either David Bowie or Kurt Cobain’s voice. (Nirvana famously covered the Bowie song on a 1994 episode of MTV’s Unplugged.)

Lady Gaga is scheduled to perform a David Bowie tribute medley during the Grammys Monday night, and while there’s no word on what songs she’ll perform, come on, this seems like an iconic no-brainer.
