Unpopular Music Opinions

Ive actually never liked the original. Thats not because im a Buckley fanboy, i just dont feel it at all. Rufus Wainwrights version was great too. There are actually quite a few versions out there that are decent, and i prefer them all to the original.

^Do you like Cohen in general?

Mojo · 05-17-2010, 04:57 PM

It all depends on mood as to what my relationship with Cohen is like but in general yeah, i like a bit of Cohen from time to time.

Hmm I guess you just love the covers too much, it's nowhere near Cohen's top songs but still amazing.

I'm with mojopin, I don't know how John Cale drew the version that is so often covered out of that Leonard Cohen song, it does nothing for me.

Whoa this opinion was even more unpopular than I thought.

I think i know what you mean. I think alot of people have drawn some real emotion out of their versions of it, whereas i think the original is quite flat and just doesnt really strike a chord with me at all.
