Quoted from lennonlegend
didnt they? i thoght paul wrote that! sounds like a sort of song the beatles/paul would write


They didn't.
They did "P.S. I love you" and "Love me do" but they didn't play that together, don't you know it?

Paul sang a mix of both on a live single called "P.S. Love me do".
I am surprised you don't know that... unless you are pulling my leg.. or both.

OK, well, I like Ms. Bassey's cover of Something. Like juniorsfarm said, it's all about opinion! Anyway, the Crosby, Stills and Nash version of Blackbird on the Allies live album is good, as well as the studio version of it on the CNS 4 CD box set I've got, which might be deleted now.

The Stones version of I Wanna Be Your Man is the best cover

This is a 'splitting hairs' point here -- but is "I Wanna Be Your Man" by the Stones really a cover version.... or is the Beatles' version a cover of the Stones?  

I ask this because didn't John and Paul write this for the Stones, and then they (the Beatles) recorded it themselves?  And (no offense Ringo), but the Beatles considered it a throwaway song by letting Ringo sing it.  

Therefore, a cover of a Stones song that the Beatles originally wrote.  Is that possible?

Hee! Here's the web definition of "cover song": recording of a song that was first recorded or made popular by somebody else; "they made a cover of a Beatles' song"

In this case, you would be... um, half right?

So the Stones did record IWBYM first, and they had a hit with it, right? So that meets the definition.

But as the authors, Lennon/McCartney must have already had their arrangement in mind. In which case, they wouldn't be inspired by or adapting the Stones version (which I think is implied in "cover" though not overtly stated) but just went ahead and did what they were going to do anyway. Or so I imagine.


All you've got to do is choose love.  That's how I live it now.  I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden.  I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007

For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison

I've heard Justin Hayward and John Lodge (of the Moody Blues) do a version of Across the Universe, I think they did a beautiful job on it.

Quoted from raxo
Do you know the version Joe Cocker did of With A Little Help From My Friends in 1968 with two of the future guys of Led Zeppelin?  


Should I be embarrassed that I didn't know that was Jimmy Page on guitar?


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
