Disturbed or Simon and garfunkel, it pains me to say it but disturbed does it better and I feel dirty inside having to say that but fem half was right and now I have to say it lol

If you haven't heard disturbed covering it, you should go to YouTube... Or alexa or Google home or whatever lol

I have tried several times to give Disturbed version a chance, but I dispise it.

I feel he just sounds like a moaning whinge bag at the start. And what's with his screeching towards the end?

Just listened to it again now, and yeah, I still can't stand it. I dont think the tone fits with the message of the song. Love the S&G version.

Am i the only person who really doesn't like that song?

I think it stems from being played at the first funeral I went to in my teens

The Disturbed version for me.

Check out this version they did on the Conan O'Brien show.

Absolutely amazing. The way he sings it. The emotion in his face. Unreal.

I think it depends on how you came to the song in the first place, I grew up with the S&G version and love it, when I head the Disturbed version I actively detested it.. although recently I've come to appreciate it a little more the originals haunting beauty will always hold my heart. But I can imagine if you heard the Disturded version first and then sought out yhe original it might sound a little twee..

Disturbed for me

Another fabulous cover - https://youtu.be/iSqugzxhgpU

Another great cover but they banned us from using phones so footage is rare - https://youtu.be/gVrr-F1uhSg

And lastly, as I never mis a chance to give people 20mins or so of pure happiness - https://youtu.be/n-0rmLDQxUE

Yes, it qualifies, as there's a cover in there too

and it's just one of the best gigs ever!!

The original is one of my dads favourite songs . For one month solid i heard thst song being played over and over again on the journey home from visiting my mum in hospital. So much so I wanted to rip it out of the cassette player in the car and break it . I think I prefer the disturbed version and that’s saying something.

I was blown away by the original when I heard it one hundred years ago, also I would be more into folk than generic rock; sorry I mean alternative metal.
