Definately Cash. The video is genius, I like his tempo more, the arrangement of the chorus seems "fuller," and it seems so much more appropriate for an aging Cash to sing it instead of Trent. But then, I heard the Cash version first so I may be biased. :P
 
Read the Youtube comments on the videos and despair of humanity.

I saw it at camp one year, and felt the same way. A very emotional song.

I have to buck the trend here and go for Reznor's version of the tune.When The Downward Spiral came out I was going through a rough time in my life and I really identified with that song.Cash's version does nothing for me.

I've heard of Mr. Cash's version first so I think that changes my perspective.

The fact that he's not with us anymore also gives the lyrics more pain than the original.

My vote goes to Johnny Cash's version.

I think the original version was much better.  Sure Cash's cover was nice, but I felt the original was more interesting and effective.  Reznor's voice has a lot of pain in it and I felt the arrangement worked better. So yes, the original over Cash.

Even Trent Reznor admits that Johnny Cash is the definative version, he even does it as a cover of Cash's cover of his own song now.

Well? I like the original more but Cash did a great job on it as well. The original just grabs me more for some reason, I like Trent's voice a little better too.
I also don't like how Cash changed sh*t to thorns.Wink
