There are basically more versions of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen then there are box cutters in the world. It's been suggested that this is one of the most covered songs of all time. I've been looking for the best covers, & several places have recommended Jeff Buckley or John Cale. I've heard both versions & they're good, but not as haunting as Arooj Aftab. However, I still haven't heard the covers that Bono, Johnny Cash, or K.D. Lang or the dozens of other talented artists who have covered this song.
I wish that there was a CD of all the different Hallelujah covers. I've been looking all day & apparently it doesn't exist. What's your favorite Hallelujah cover?
