Well since just about everyone loves Johnny cash, what are your favorite Cash songs?

For me, it's Hurt. A bit depressing but an awesome song at that.

yes the name is hurt. it`s very depressing it`s like he is going to be dead and looking back to his life.

A Boy Named Sue or Ring of Fire... Hurt was good but come on, that was a NiN song... at least listen to some true Johnny Cash before you say Hurt is the best

That's a Kris Kristopherson song

What does any of this matter? Half the songs listed as favorites weren't written by Johnny. Hurt and Sunday Morning Coming Down are two of my favorite songs by him. Sure he didn't write them, but he didn't write A Boy Named Sue or Ring of Fire either. A Boy Named Sue was written by Shel Silverstein and Ring of Fire was written by June and another guy (can't remember his name off the top of my head) Even Folsom Prison Blues which everyone seems to love (don't get me wrong, I love it too) isn't entirely his. He is credited for writing it, but he stole 3/4 of it from another song. I'm just saying that just because he didn't write it, or someone else sang it first, doesn't mean it can't be counted as a Cash song. He definitely put his own style into every song he did.

Only the talented have the ability to share it with the rest of the world. Here's a thought; let's stop labeling music and fighting over what genre a certain band is, and start listening to whatever pleases our ears no matter what anyone thinks of it! ;)
