Johnny Cash and Nine Inch Nails
Incredible tune. 14/10

Yeah, I had never heard it before today. Powerful stuff.
One of the few NIN songs that deserved all of the attention it got.
Didn't Cash get a Grammy for it though? lawlawlawl.

The above video for "Hurt" was beat out by, of all things, Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River" at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Another good cover Johnny Cash did was of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song"

Looks like you're right. Well, either way, the wrong video won.

I love Johnny's version. I like to think this song was meant to be written for him, it has more power coming out of his lips.
RIP
Cash was such an excellent singer/songwriter...
It's too bad he was a Christian country singer most of the time. 
I grew up with a lot of Johnny Cash (my dad's a fan), but never really paid attention to his music about a year ago. Two honorable mentions...
Redemption
Drive On

I was thinking more along the lines of Cartman in a southpark episode deciding to make a Christian record so he could make a crap-ton of money!
But I'm a cynical old bint...

Usually taking what the opposite of what those sorts of people say can be considered the truth, so I'll leave the rest to you. 
lol!
No one took Glenn Danzig seriously, least of all Glenn Danzig!
Danzig sold his 'naughty' appeal to pimply boys in their teens wearing metal shirts who where probably the same children of the only other people to take Danzig seriously, christian extremists, just to piss their parents off for making them go to sunday school.
I'm not limited in my appreciation of church music either, some of it's genuinely good, highly musical and well worth dropping the pitch of and throwing behind a particually wicked drum and bass line, for completely the wrong reasons it was ever made for in the first place 
I can enjoy Christian music as long as it's not in English.
"Miserere Mei" is one of my favorites.
