Why do people like Johnny Cash's version of Hurt? I find it to be horrible. Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" is far better than that.

Because there's way more emotion and meaning to it. His voice is more than enough to make it better in my mind.

I couldn't agree more with that, as an AVID Cash fan. Johnny Cash at the time he recorded the song was suffering from so many different problems, including diabetes and athsma(sp) as well as only having 40% vision (if you look at the When The Man Comes Around album cover when you take out the CD it shows the lyrics sheet for "So Lonesome I could cry" the font on the sheet is very large and he also wore glasses). Personally I think that the end of Hurt sums up Johnny Cash at that point (If I could start again/a million miles away/ I could keep myself I would find away). Paraphrasing (I think) Roseanne Cash talking about that song...it wasn't all of who he was at the end but it part of who he was.

My top ten Cash changes every day lol. I think I'll make another.

1) Anthem '84

2) Death And Hell

3) Delia's Gone

4) Folsom Prison Blues

3) Train Of Love

4) One Piece At A Time

5) Two Timin' Woman

6) Unchained

7) Wanted Man

8) Starkville City Jail

9) Like A Soldier

10) Southern Accents

5. Hurt

6. Delia's Gone

7. Ballad Of Ira Hayes (man, its been a looooong time since I've heard that one)

8. Ring Of Fire

I'm having trouble picking a #9 and #10, because there's too many good songs to choose from.

He did a pretty good version of Ghostriders In The Sky, btw.

I half agree with you there, although I'm still undecided on which version I prefer. Personally, I think Johnny Cash sings it with *less* emotion than Trent Reznor, but somehow makes that work. Whereas Reznor sings "I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel" as if he's about to break down and cry, Cash sings it as a matter of fact statement, as if it's nothing unusual, and saying that he's accepted the state he's in. Personally I find which version I prefer depends on the situation, though.

I'm not going to list my favourite Johnny Cash songs, because it's an impossible task.

Trent always sounds like he's going to cry doing a song.

Case in point:

Something I Can Never Have off of Still.

Not meaning to drag this into a NIN discussion, but that's a beautiful song, the acoustic version even moreso, but saying he *always* sounds like he's going to cry is a bit much, he's not exactly weeping his way through Head Like A Hole, Physical or Starfuckers Inc., is he?

Yes. :shifty:

Nah, I meant on live versions of songs, actually. You know, the slower songs. Like Hurt, SICNH, Piggy, etc.

Meh.

Now the other day on the radio I heard some band do a cover of "Ring of Fire" and it was pretty good, I think Johnny would've liked it. Does anybody know who did that song?
