I personally believe that one of those things that defines your music taste-is in fact-which version of "Hallelujah" you enjoy the best. So I thought I would put it out there for all to see, my version of choice, is done by Jeff Buckley. The song was originally done by Leonard Cohen in the mid-80's. The song just sounds amazing, but like most covers not all of them are cut from the same stone, and vary among the artists who have covered them. However, often you don't find covers that vary as wildly as the covers of "Hallelujah" which in itself is a great song, extremely well composed and the lyrics are beautiful. I thought though that I would let the people choose and at least put out all of the versions I could find (only the ones of real recognition though, not just any covers). So without further adieu, the many faces of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
