Day 1
The other day I came across a music related blog in which they referred to this 30 day song thing on Facebook (30 Day Song Election Spectacular) Basically you leave a comment everyday for 30 days naming a song that meets different requirements. I read through the list and instantly wanted to play. I even got Matt to play along. But instead of posting them on the Facebook page where a bunch of strangers could read my choices (and judge me) I decided to do my write ups here. So let's get started...
Day 1- Favorite cover version of a non-obscure song. Hands down... Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" originally by Nine Inch Nails. It may be somewhat obscure, I don't think the NIN version was a big hit or anything, but this is probably one of the best covers ever, so we're overlooking the slight bit of obscurity. This song made me a fan of the Man in Black, though oddly enough not of NIN. It's incredible. He has a lot of really great covers from later in his career, but this one is so good it gives me chills when I listen to it. The video-- doubly so. If you haven't heard it before you definitely should check it out.
Matt- Agrees. We didn't coordinate, this was the first song he thought of as well. In fact, this is his favorite song period.
