Star Tracks
I think the big question for our age is which do you prefer, the song stylings of Leonard Nimoy or William Shatner?

No, the question for our age is, Is Shatner all in as a performer, or is he mentally ill?
I suppose the answer is "yes".
Mental illness is a prerequisite for stardom.
Rocket Man is a perfect melding of jet set (the ruffles, man, the ruffles) and geek culture
Spock says he's come from far beyond the galaxies. Ridiculous. He's from a local section of the Milky Way.
At least Nimoy sings the second half of each verse. Shatner never sings; he only speaks. I have never been sure if he considers this art, or if it's actually tongue-in-cheek.
Here's Shatner demolishing Total Eclipse of the Heart.
(Sorry for the duplicate; the blogger comments are acting weird.)
There's another way to look at it. At least Shatner recognized he was no singer, so did what he could. Nimoy recognizes no such limitations, and that's probably not a good thing.
