Johnny Cash - Hurt The NIN version is great and I still love it but when I 1st heard this on Mancows show on Q101 back in the day I was like  Cash has a way of making songs sound haunting. The video is great too as it shows him at his youthful peak to his old and frail last months |

Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Nirvana This song has been covered for well over 100 years. Leadbetters is the most well known version and I like since I am a fan of very old music Nirvana really took this song to another level though |

I was gonna throw Redding's Day Tripper vid in there but I had to do these one at a time since thats all we are allowed per post Buckley's Hallelujah is amazing but I still like Cohen's more |

Black Magic Woman - Santana This is another one that is just as good if not better than the original by Fleetwood Mac. Both are great |

Nirvana's covers of Lake of Fire (Meat Puppets) and The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie) were probably the best parts of their MTV Unplugged Rage: Kick out the Jams (MC5) Ike and Tina Turner: Proud Mary (CCR) Joe Strummer & the Mescalaros: Redemption Song (Bob Marley) Talking Heads: Take Me to the River (Al Green) Elvis Costello: What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love & Understanding (Nick Lowe) |

Johnny Cash's cover of U2 One was so goddamn bad it was almost laughable. I did enjoy his cover of Hurt though. Check out Willie Nelson's cover of DMB's Gravedigger... awesome, and the video is GREAT IMHO. Also, B51 does a naughty little cover of Jimmy cliff's Harder they Come

Cash's cover of "Southern Accent" blows Petty's original away too. |

(Her version is in my top 50 songs ever) EDIT: So you and IMU are fighting over who was wrong first? good stuff. Also, while I like the Joe's version, I think the Beatles version of Friends is underrated |
