Yeah, I realized all my choices were a bit, dark. I really considered adding something by Breaking Benjamin.

Trent disagrees:

I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.

This calls for a poll I think

"Grease Box," Tad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0l-Oqabipk)
"Safety Dance," Men Without Hats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg)

One of these things is not like the others, can you spot it?

Trent disagrees
I don't read him as disagreeing, just (rightly) noting that Cash's version is a damn good song.

Problem from my point of view is that Cash's Hurt has been vastly overplayed, used in too many TV shows, ads, student flicks, and the like. It's now a lazy substitute for indicating that you're down in the dumps.

Moreover, there's much better covers on American IV (his take of Personal Jesus is top notch), and the rest of the American series.

This calls for a poll I think
Indeed.

"26 is Dancier than 4" (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IhPljk5EZ0Q) by This Town Needs Guns
"Singing Burgers with Attitude" by Ultimate Army of Prawns (can't find a link to this one, shame, its epic)

Abney Park --- nice choice. I prefer "The Wrong Side" though.

"John Lennon - Imagine"
"Blackmore's Night - Under A Violet Moon"
"Abney Park - Thornes & Brambles"

Abney Park again? I'm impressed.

Anyway, my three:

Nick Cave: Henry Lee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHdNCHomHlU)

Wonderfully chilling song, beautifully sung. Basically anything by Nick Cave is good, but this one is really awesome.

The Dresden Dolls: Good Day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGJUfRbOsJo)

Lots of attitude, and it's unbelievable the amount of sound they can put out with just a piano and a drum kit. Am seeing Amanda live next week, and can't wait.

Tom Waits: Clap Hands (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gME--7vk7Vk)

The video for this one isn't so good, but the song is wonderful. Archetypal Tom Waits, with everything that implies.
