Best 'Ring of Fire'

Poll question: Best 'Ring of Fire'

Whose version do you like best?

[Orrex]

1. I prefer that one in the Pacific

[begin_within]

2. slick

[TZ]

3. Johnny Cash of course

I'm generally not that adverse to someone "reimagining" a song but what that guy did to Ring of Fire on American Idol was hideous...

[begin_within]

9. yeah I think Dilana's on "Rockstar" was better than the one on American Idol.

He kind of tried to turn it into a Britney Spears quasi-porn video.

[Bennyboy]

4. Frank Zappa.....

12. Beat me to it.

Mike Keneally needs to do his Johnny Cash imitation more often.

[no name no slogan]

5. Johnny Cash #1, Social D #2, and my own version #3

:D

[begin_within]

14. well, where's your version?

6. Rachel Maddow's

She can't sing worth a hoot, but loved her attempt
at it the other night!

7. J.Cash. I'd like to hear Social Distortion's version though - I really

like them more and more every time I hear them.
"I Was Wrong" is absoultely great.

8. i have to admit Social Distortion's

and their cover pushed me into Johnny Cash's music more than anything else.

[Goblinmonger]

11. Youtube Link to Wall of Voodoo's version because it rocks

I still voted Johnny Cash, but this is clearly the best cover in my opinion.

Live Version--song starts at 0:50

Cleaner non-live version if you are so disposed.

13. Thanks, I never get tired of listening to Wall of Voodoo's version.

although I usually skip the sci-fi ending part.

[Goblinmonger]

15. Yeah, the ending

hardly lives up to the kick ass beginning.

[Goblinmonger]

16. Yeah, the ending

hardly lives up to the kick ass beginning.

17. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mike Papantonio...

...sorry, what was the question again? ;-)

[NaturalHigh]

18. I'm a big fan of Johnny Cash...

but for this one I'll have to go with Social Distortion.

[kentauros]

19. Although I feel the Wall of Voodoo version is the best

now that I have had a chance to listen to The Bobs' version, I think it's an even tie :D

Listening to it a second time now.
Thanks for the PM, Goblinmonger

20. The man in black....nt

And for the DT fans, I mean Johnny Cash, not Walter....
