Agreed, but I hate the Johnny Cash cover, and specifically the way everyone coos over it just because it's Johnny Cash. I find it pretty empty compared to the NIN original. Somehow the fact he was terminally ill when he recorded always gets brought into the justification of what makes it special too, the logic of which completely passes me by. /rant

That is... not a particularly good version of Sympathy for the devil.

I love both versions. But The JC version just edges over the NIN version for me.

I already said you were wrong, no need to compound your mistake.

Oooh, I like Dolls by New Young Pony Club. I like Hurt too and Sympathy for the Devil (although I agree with what Dave said).

Be Excellent To Each Other
