What's your favourite cover of a Beatles song?

As already mentioned, Joe Cockers version of Little Help From My Friends is a great cover and probably much better than the original.

Thowing Muses also had a bloody good crack at Cry Baby Cry.

YouTube - PETER SELLERS SHE LOVES YOU #2
She Loves You - Sellers & Milligan. Quality last line!



Incidentally, Paul McCartney himself felt the below was the best cover of a Beatles song he'd heard.

YouTube - Michael Jackson - Come together

But don't let that stop the inevitable criticisms from NSC!

Well I'll start.

That's the biggest pile of turd I've ever heard from the single gloved one on top of mountain of stinking turd he produced after Thriller.

( Did he sing it live ? )

Jealous Guy - Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music)

that's John Lennon buddy, not the Beatles per se - if we're including Lennon solo efforts then The Wonderstuff did a great cover of Gimme Some Truth....

They murdered I am the Walrus.

My fave Beatle cover is It's All Too Much by The House of Love. They do a good version of Strange Brew, too.

They did not, it used to be a superb set closer back in the day (1994 that was)....

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Helter Skelter

good call, a classic from that wicked dark debut album The Scream, nice work fellah...

Start! by The Jam.....

What an insult

you're the one being insulting IMHO, surely there is no greater compliment left in music today than having Neil Young cover one of your songs...
