"there is no doubt that Buckley's Hallelujah is sublime; it is a seven-minute exposition of orgasmic misery. Amplified by Buckley's death, the song has become talismanic: an anthem for those who "get it" – the musical equivalent of Donnie Darko. "

It's not even his song ffs, Damien Rice wrote it.

 

[pissypants]

"I had high hopes for Diana Vickers' version based on this early audition"

well done. game over.

 

[pete]

This is the equivalent of Ronan Keating's cover of 'Fairytale of New York'

fair point.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Pop eating itself, as predicted.

Goog ol Ronan Collins just refused to play Alex(xfactor)s version and played Jeff Buckleys instead

He is our Wolfman Jack

 

[mr.blueface]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Ronan Collins is the best "DJ" on radio.

do you think any of The Kids have a clue who Jeff Buckley

 

[Yurn!]

I'd listen to a McFly version before i'd subject myself to Rufus Wainwrights again.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

What about

version?

But seriously Jeff Buckley's is the definitive version, I think.

Rufus Wainwright !bog!bog!bog!bog!bog!bog!bog!bog!bog!bog
awful faggoty rubbish

 

[Cryptid]

I'd go with John Cale also, although Jeff Buckley's is very good also. Jeff Buckley had a ridiculously good voice. Lenny did a good version at the gig there in the summer.

John Cale has great songs and Fear is a fantastic album.

P.S. Me no like Wufus Rainwright either.

Apparently Buckley has 3 version of the song in the British charts this week.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

The winner is of course Mr. Cohen. Did Bono do a version? I think he might have, an abortion of a version.

Lenny stands to make a quarter million this week according to something I read in the guardian last week.

Well, I don't read the guardian. Someone sent me a link to the story.
