No way. Cash's version is a snooze fest. Reznor's much more powerful and musically way more complete.

Even Reznor liked Cash's version better. Snooze fest by the way? Damn kids these days.

Kid? That's still how you handle things on the internet? ¬_¬ 

But Trent never said he liked it better.

At first, he felt: "I'd known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive". Then he watched the video and thought Cash's version made sense. That it was powerful, and a great piece of art. He felt honored that cash chose one of his song. But no mention of him saying he liked it better than his own. Just that Cash managed to make the song his own. 

And really, I was listening to NIN when you were barely a junior. So please, no need for that. It's my opinion that Cash's version is a snore fest. Yeah, yeah. It's powerful if you consider the moment in his life when he chose to cover it, and what the video is actually about. But that doesn't make it any less boring to my ears compared to the original.

Totally forgot about this one Smokey Robinson's original was very good but this one is better and put the song on a whole other level.

Listen to the crowd go nuts!!!!

This one totally destoys the original.  It being a remix of a cover probably also helps. 

Knocking on Heavens Door by Guns n Roses

Actually, they're damn good at doing covers.
