Now, I know generally covers aren't as good as the originals, but in this case. I'm really fucking torn!

I love both versions, its a fucking haunting song. Both versions are full of emotion.

But, Cash or NIN?

I really can't chose.

Atm, I'm leaning towards NIN because of the darkness about it, but Cash's version is so emotional, perhaps because he was coming towards the end of his life as he recorded.

So, MYGNR. I put it to you; Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash??

Definitely Trent's version - all the way.

He wrote it, he lived it and he plays it from the heart.

Not saying Cash's version isn't cool - because it is. But I think Mr. Cash made the song a little too mainstream for my tastes. jmo.

Agreed. NIN's version has a slightly more......ethereal quality? I can't really put my finger on it but it's what makes NIN songs in general reach a very special level.

Atm the Cash version, it changes from time to time. I haven't heard a decent live version of hurt since Further Down and the live versions these days are truely shite. I don't know why but I have turned against NIN lately...
