I first heard the song "Hallelujah" watching a "Scrubs" rerun. It's a version by John Cale but isn't available on iTunes as a single. Based on the recommendation of our worship leader's web site about Jeff Buckley I decided to buy that version. I also bought the original Leonard Cohen version. It's a song many artists have covered and is in the background in many TV shows and movies. I like the Cale version the best but all have amazing merit. Go listen and enjoy.
Update:

My favorite is on the Tidings album by Allison Crowe.
