So, opinions on Hallelujah
The original version?
Jeff Buckley cover?
kd Lang cover?
Others?
Or just can't stand the song in the first place?

Personally kd Lang... but that is the version I first heard.

It's a real toss between the original and kd Lang. But I've also heard Nick Cave's version and it's very good too.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Hallelujah,


Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Halleluja,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Halleloo - oo - jah.

I was going to pop in just to say John Cale, indisputably, but now I have to follow all mr_bassman's links. That's my dance card filled for the evening.

... And as is always the case with earworms, I have responded the way that (if you're lucky) only I can...

I actually quite like the Jeff Buckley version, even though it's been the terribly popular one, and hideously over used.

I think he does something interesting with the lyrics, changes the mood and therefore the context for them.

Yep, that's what good singers can do... He was one on the best.

Jeff. Always Jeff. The original comes a close second.
