A Mercury Prize-winner hasn't got the guts to cover it; Bob Dylan and Bono are two of the many who've strangled it; Jeff Buckley's version is in Rolling Stone's top 500 greatest songs ever. The song in question? Leonard Cohen's transcendental Hallelujah "I like to imagine Hallelujah as a rather stately creature," says presenter Guy Garvey (Elbow frontman and said Mercury winner) "It's a mark of its power and guile that artists who didn't even write it, feel protective of it." You can't help feel sympathy for Cohen, though - his version isn't considered to be the best. That honour goes to Jeff Buckley or John Cale. The ever eloquent and always genial Garvey does a bewitching job of explaining the nuances and dramatically different interpretations of this magical song, helped by some of the artists and producers who've worked on the 120 covers.
