The TV commercial version of "Getting Better" is supposedly by a group called "Gomez."

Joe Cockers "With a little help from my friends". He didn't just cover it, he reinterprted it. At the risk of being lynched I Would say its the only cover better than the original (and maybe Shirley Basseys "Something")

Gomez are a great group...They seem to have had their time here in UK..I've seen them live twice..Each time amazing. great vocals...very Uni kinda vibe.
Their first album Bring It On is definitely worth a check.

Yes, Gomez's fire seems to have gone out. Do you like Badly Drawn Boy?

I like Shawn Colvin's new cover of "I'll Be Back".

I know it isn't exactly a Beatles Song, but I know that Joe Cocker did a cover of Maybe I'm Amazed on his new album that has recently come out. I hated it though. I guess I don't like his voice.


A man on a flaming pie said you are now the Beatles with an A and you are. "Thank you Mister Man," said the boys.

Within You Without You by Sonic Youth is good.

Anyone heard Tori Amos' version of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun"?

Micheal Jackson did a version of Come Together also, not as bad as you think, his voice went along well with it and he hired some damn good guitarist and bassist so it sounds better good.



Defintely worth a check.


I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we pass the audition.

a great cover of Drive My Car was done by an unknown band : Stray Dog.
Their 1st album is still one of the best albums ever made. Anyway...they do a great version of Drive My Car. If you can find it..it's well worth the effort.

Quoted from Wayne_L.
Aerosmith is the greatest Beatles covers band of all time with great remakes of Come Together, I'm Down & Helter Skelter which sound like originals which is what it's all about as well as being a great rock & roll band in their own right.


i agree 100%, i even like their come together better than the beatles version. *ducks*

Sun..it's simply called Stray Dog.    Now there's a reissue with a bunch of live stuff that's probably the one for sale. Well worth it.
