@ beast666 - who's Andy Buckley?
Most of the cover versions done are based on what John Cale did with the song, so he should get most of the credit, but most people seem to agree that the Jeff Buckley version is the best of a huge pile of covers.
I spend ages the other day listening to loads of these, and to my musical tastes, Buckleys is the best, followed by Cales.
