I prefer Rebel Rebel as a riff and song. You can clearly hear the Keith Richards influence in the Bowie riff though as it has a very similar path to JJF. I think Bowie should have let Ronson do his magic on it, albeit it was one of Bowies best singles of the 70's. While i'm not the hugest Stones fans, I can appreciate the riff, I always like Keith Richards on guitar its Jagger that doesn't appeal.

Bowie-1
Stones-0
