Personal Jesus
The Johnny Cash cover is a blues/boogie-woogie version featuring acoustic guitars and piano. Of course everyone knows the Depeche Mode style, I assume.

Comments about Personal Jesus:
I don't like Cash's version, even though I'm a huge cash fan and not a depeche mode fan at all.

Cash is my favorite musician of all times. He is brilliant, and as everything else he touches this cover is genius. I am a great depeche fan aswell, but in this case my vote definently goes to Cash. the memory of Cash will live forever!!!!

Cash is the man. I agree, he plays the guitar with respect. But depeche mode wrote it and perform it the way its meant to be. I'm a fan of both!

Johnny Cash has made a really good work covering Personal Jesus and I like his voice and the way he plays the guitar: very dark.
However I prefer the original one

There's not much I really like about Johnny Cash, but I have to admire that he covered a Depeche Mode song. Not that it was *better*... but kudos for doing it.

I'm not a Depeche fan, but Personal Jesus is a great song and did leave a considerate impression on me when i first heard it. But when I heard Johnny Cash's version I was completely blown away! My vote is definitely on Cash.

Personally I like the Depeche Mode version better. But I also like the Cash version very much. So it is a hard choice between these two versions. But what I believe is being over looked is the Marilyn Manson version. Personally I think that is the best version of them all. Most of you probably won't agree with me though.

I can't vote on this one. It's a 50-50 split for me.

I love the Johnny Cash cover of this timeless classic. Its dark and moody, Cash at his best!
