קל אדון
A piyut sung on Shabbat during the blessing of Yotzer Or before Shema.
Modzitz
Composed by the Modzitzer Rebbe Shaul Yedidya Taub (1887-1948), according to this score from NLI. Unfortunately it's not in Velvel Pasternak's Melodies of Modzitz book so it's hard to confirm. Not to be confused with this Modzitz march. If I had to claim that one melody is the most standard one used, it's this one.
Michoel Streicher Version
It's really for Ein Aroch but carries well right into Kel Adon. My favourite melody to use. I first learned it from the Maccabeats first and I suspect many others did too.
Carlebach
Shlomo Carlebach, 1973?. The niggun is well known but not particularly as a melody for Kel Adon. Sometimes known as his Aleph-Beis song.
Shiru LaMelech
Yeedle, 1998. Not written for Kel Adon but I find it's often used the week of Birkat HaChodesh.
Ben Zion Shenker
Recorded 1972.
I don't know this one. But it's always worth bringing Ben Zion Shenker's compositions back into the mainstream. I tried to use his Nachamu for Shacharis Kedusha on Shabbos Nachamu and forgot the tune halfway through but I don't regret it.
