Stone Temple Pilots covered "Break On Through"... Creed covered "Riders on the Storm"... The fact that you don't even know what song it was is fuckin lame, and also goes to show that you had made up your mind about the song before you even heard it (If you have even heard it, maybe you're just trying to sound like a hotshot).
Yes, I agree, FUCK CREED, they suck really bad, and Scott Stap is a fag. However... they did a fucking good Doors cover. The song is on the tribute CD, and dare I say it was one of the best ones on the CD. They did a damn good job of it, get your head out of your ass and listen to the song before you say it sucks.

Add: Any of the over 500,000,000 horrible versions of Happy Birthday sung over the past 100 or so years. Most of the people who sing it can hardly sing.

Steven's drumming made the band; he made a big musical difference. His sense of swing was the push and pull that gave those songs their feel, afterwards, nothing worked.

Is that the same "Hallelujah" that Rufus Wainwright recorded for the Shrek soundtrack?? Fantastic song... I haven't heard Jeff Buckley do it, but it would be hard to top Rufus' version.
Who is it by originally?

Yeah, it is. Buckley's is actually a cover of a cover in fact, and there's some extra verses than on Cohen's original.
