Heh, here's the original. Shows you how radically different Buckley's cover is.

This is more vague than the shit that I post, props :D!

I like John Cale's version from scrubs (the following video isn't the same as the Scrubs one)

It used to be more descriptive, but he changed it because he didn't want it to influence people's opinions.

I like the Scrubs version, but it doesn't hold a candle to Buckley's version, imo.

What's wrong with it? What do you listen to?

If I had an MP3 of it, I definitely would, but this is the first time I've heard it outside a movie or something like that.

Good cover, unfortunate death for Buckley, really tragic.

What's wrong with it? It's so bad that I can't even tell if it's a real song or a joke.

I definitely disagree.  I think it's beautiful.

Possibly the Cohen version.

I like the Cohen version a lot better myself. Although I'm not a huge fan of the style, I can see why people would like it. :)

It's not really my style either.  The production is flaky, and in the cover, it comes off as frivolously emotional and indulgent, to the point where it could be seen as acting more than music.  But it certainly has redeeming aspects, and it's not nearly as bad in those ways as most modern music.  Most music that people listen to is 95% acting and production, 5% musical content.

I think you're being too generous when you say 5%.
