You may as well have some good versions.

Leonard Cohen - my priest at college used to love Leonard Cohen. I am uneducated and do not get it.

Jeff Buckley

The Dresden Dolls

K.D. Lang

Rufus Wainright

Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová - this is my favourite; [livejournal.com profile] cidercupcakes gave it me. They keep forgetting the words and giggling. It's adorable.

And while I'm doing this I might as well upload some versions of Fairytale of New York.

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

Stars - this one is really good.

Christy Moore - I love Christy Moore, even though he sings both parts.

KT Tunstall

^^ john cale & a string quartet hurrah

the cohen version makes more sense if you realise he spent two decades making records with deliberately dodgy muzak backings

the wainwright one really annoys me because i) it sounds EXACTLY like cale's piano-solo one that got licensed in a shitload of films ii) it was recorded the year cale started to refuse permission to use it in films

I genuinely cannot tell the difference between the Cale and Wainwright versions.
