John Cale doing Cohen's hallelujah

Before anyone else did.

Then Buckley covering Cale's version, then everyone else following.

I love cover versions...
Patti Smith - Gloria,
Smells like teen spirit

Liz Green - back in the ussr

Diagrams - famous blue raincoat

Betty lavette - things have changed

Rolling stones - little red rooster

Busoni - bach

Natalie merchant - sympathy for the devil

Alison moyet - that ol devil called love

Madder rose - the love you save

Lemon heads - waiting round to die

Simon and garfunkel - Scarborough fair

Too many to name really...
