I wouldn't say it blows away the original,
but I like Cash's version a little better.

And here's the version I remember from Boss Radio 93 KHJ in Los Angeles:

YouTube - ‪Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain‬&rlm; - I can't seem to find Roy Acuff's original.

In the following I've seen arguments both ways, and I can see the merits of both, but Joan Jett's is clearly more popular and I'm more attached to it.

YouTube - ‪I Love Rock 'n Roll- Joan Jett and the Blackhearts‬&rlm; - Joan Jett

YouTube - ‪The Arrows, I Love Rock N Roll‬&rlm; - The original by the Arrows, not that different interestingly enough.

Folks it appears that folks are ignoring the fact that this is a dupe thread which is fine but I have one request.

Ya gotta indicate the original artist, don't assume that everyone is familiar with the original version or the artist.
