With the 'Dame' back on the scene, it got me to thinking about my fave 'Faüx' Bowie tracks, artists who have bit his style. I've a few to set the ball rolling...
Roderick Taylor Falconer-'Play It Again'- Love the hazy 70's guitar solo and the strings on this

Belouis Some-'Imagination'-Should be crap but perversely love it

Jobriath-'Be Still'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJZBSCUH5hE
Can't think of any others at the mo but will post when I do...

Sweet: "The Six-Teens" (Chinn & Chapman trying to squeeze all of the Ziggy saga into one song w/overflowing pomp)

Left Banke- "Pedestal" (slightly ahead of schedule in late '69, to my ears this would fit in pretty well amongst the slow numbers on The Man... or Hunky Dory)

Pretty much anything solo by Mick Ronson, though he would have a pretty good excuse...

ABC - S.O.S.(In particular the wordless vocals at the end recall Bowie/Queen - Under Pressure)

I can't think of anybody except a couple Japan tracksOh and that blatant LCD ripoffIn general tho my mind works the opposite way, like, "who's Bowie ripping off on this one?"

Once I imagined Gn'R's "Coma" as an alternate universe Bowie cover, I could never unhear it as such.

new bad Night Engine seem to channel Bowie directly through Talking Heads
