It is so much better than the NIN version.

Most of the music sites and experts I see generally consider it one of the top 5

That’s because it is a great cover. It just isn’t better than the original.

It is infinitely better. The original is not worth listening to. Just like

This was the very song I was thinking. Whitney's version is one of the more...

I agree Whitney's is better, but I do really like Dolly's version

I like the song but I don’t think anything compares to Don Henley’s version.

All 3 are great. Can’t pick a favorite.

BGRTHNUMEGO

I'm not a fan of the original. Too much going on.

SO’s version makes the original unnecessary.

the Sinead O'Connor version is one of my all-time favorites; the best, IMO.
