Point of order
Hurt? No way.
I know this was/is a popular take, and Cash recording that at the end of his life imbued it with a lot of meaning, but we've had a few decades to look back with perspective at this point. No way I'm ever choosing the Cash recording over the Reznor recording.
(Also Romeo and Juliet - GTFO. No way. That's like going with the Morgan Wallen cover of Cover Me Up over the Isbell original. Knopfler's guitar is instantly recognizable and absolutely integral, and the lyrics are so uniquely personal to Knopfler specifically, Brandon Flowers can't compare.)
