    Johnny Cash is a legend. He's the only country style musician I can listen to and I could listen to him for hours. After Bob Dylan he'd be my favourite singer/songwriter of all time. He had a wicked sense of humour (as proven by songs like "One piece at a time" and "A boy named sue") but he could be deadly serious and political ("Ballad of Ira Hayes" and "San Quentin").

    His renaissance a few years ago was an absolute triumph. "God's gonna cut you down", "I've been everywhere" and of course the covers of songs nobody thought could be covered like "Hurt", "Personal Jesus", "In my life" and "Bridge over troubled water" (amongst others). That's a serious C.V. right there which, in my mind, cements his name in the pantheon of musical geniuses.

    TL;DR Yeah I like Johnny Cash too.

    Johnny Cash, Hurt, one of the best songs ever recorded. If you don't like it then you need your brain reconfigured. Of course I'm waiting for the back lash...

    Anyone see Walk the Line. That was not bad and it showed the constant rejection he suffered from his father.

    Dunno if you're being serious or not, my sarcasm detector has been off lately so I'll just come out and say it, he died in 2003...

    I'm surprised people picked 'Hurt' - it's my favourite too but claiming a cover song always seems to start controversy

    That's one for the "obvious things I only just realised" thread!

    Disgusting talent. Clearly a once-off. Cannot be reproduced imo. Love the prisoners' reactions in this video.

    I think the lead singer from nine inch nails came out and said that johnny cash's version was so good he sees it as his song now.

    No. This is the precluded imaginary imitation of me posting anonymously on a forum. Tell nobody and shush.

    Sorry the comment was so short I couldn't wrap my brain around its misgivings.
