From the biggest U2 junkie on the forum, I think Bono's version of the song is complete trash. lol

But, John Cale, Jeff Buckley, kd lang, and Cohen's versions are all outstanding. And I'm sure that there are a few more that I'm overlooking...

Rufus Wainwright.


And yeah, when I first learned of Bono's version, I was so excited. And about 3 seconds in, I got queasy. lol

Agreed. Bono version was lacking greatly. While the late great Jeff Buckley took the song to different heights.

Yea cool
EDIT: To be more precise, the Zapp cover was on Roger's solo debut, so it's credited to Roger rather than Zapp, but it's basically a Zapp tune since all the Zapp guys play on it anyway wink

"A Change Is Gonna Come" is another one, though I've only heard the Sam Cooke, Terrence Trent D'Arby, Aretha Franklin & Leela James versions...



Good choice! Tracy Chapman does a great version of this too. I first heard it on a television special and I kept the VCR tape mainly just to replay her performance of it.
