I always felt Atmosphere was the closest.

 

Love Will Tear Us Apart is a great song, neither Paul Young nor United fans managed to ruin it completely. Both came close though.

Paul Young should have been strung up for that shocker.

 

Edit, I've never heard the PJ. Proby version, nor do I want to.

Boring

One of Cohen's worst

Classic

Very good

Shite

Canned Heat for me.

Somewhat relieved that I'm not the only person who thinks Love Will Tear Us Apart is a bag of wank. Sophomoric instrumental overlaid with the languid delivery of someone who very clearly didn't want to be there. I find the whole thing depressing, it's a 3 minute suicide note.

I dont necessarily disagree by much of a margin, but I've voted for it because Cohen's version of Hallelujah is one of the worst I've heard. The others are very much average in my view.

In 100 years Cohen's version will be in Museum of Art's all over the world and the song will still be being performed regularly.

 

Joy Division will probably not be. Like definitely not.

Gone for Joy Division just over Canned Heat.

 

Hallelujah might be a good song but it's effectively music suicide. Incredibly depressing.

Music to slit your wrists by.

Nothing crying out at me here, I thought I liked that Joy Division song more than the reality of it when I played again. That music video is weird, zero stage presence going on there. The Cohen version of Hallelujah seemed pretty boring, maybe it grows on you though. Canned heat seemed ok but felt like I was waiting for the chorus to kick in all song. The Pogues one was OK I guess, just didn't do anything for me. The Girls aloud one was bareable for about 15 seconds while I ogled them.

 

Maybe with a few more listens one would stand out more, but nothing seems worthy of a vote.

Jeff Buckleys Hallelujah could easily win this whole thing and I’d have no complaints. Instead someone’s picked Brian Cohen

It’s one of those songs people who don’t really like music pick as their favourite. Like Imagine or Someone Like You by Adele, or Coldplay’s Fix You. It’s turgid, sappy garbage. Depressing as fuck. 
 

 

Hard to argue with a single word of this.
