Anyone familiar with John Cale's _ouevre_ will be surprised by this track. I like John Cale, his music is usually dark and dense, with subject matter to match. Lou Reed has had his moments, but my favorite Velvet Underground alum is definitely J. C.His Paris 1999 (live) is a must have in any collection of Dark rock n roll.

Leonard Cohen's masterpiece is my favorite song of all time. I know people are crazy over Jeff Buckley's version, and Rufus Wainwright's also has many fans. While I appreciate both of the aforementioned versions of this song, my absolute favorite is this one, by John Cale. I enjoy John in all of his forms - the man is brilliantly idiosyncratic and eclectic, and each album is drastically different from the last. His cover of "Hallelujah" takes the cake, though -- someth... MORE
