Ever heard any as good as the originals? Can't be many. The only one I know that comes close is CSN's cover of Blackbird.

I'm hearing a lot more now on Beatles-A-Rama!!! and they're just interesting.

It seems that the soundtrack of I Am Sam contains Beatlescovers that are quite good.

That's probably the best Beatles cover album.

Come Together, Helter Skelter & I'm Down by Aerosmith are three of the best Beatles covers.

U2's Helter Skelter is pretty good. check it out on the Rattle and Hum album

Joe Cockers With A Little Help is superb. Not better, cos he pretty much changes the genre, but as good as.

Absolutley agree with you there!

I've always thought that this song was SO radically different to The Beatles' version he could have re-written the lyrics and called it his own composition - no-one would have been any the wiser.

I forgot that one. The Woodstock version is fantastic, and on the same level as the original. I heard Pat Benatar's Helter Skelter on Beatles-A-Rama!!! the other day after many years, and that's good too.

You're right about Joe Cocker's cover of With A Little Help From My Friends Kevin, especially his classic performance at Woodstock in 69 where the song rocks.

I don't like Joe Cocker's version. But that's probably just because I don't like Joe Cocker.

Adrian Belew's version of I'm Down is brilliant. Great maniac guitar solo.

Soundtrack to I Am Sam is excellent.

Johnny Cash - In My Life is very moving.

Just heard a cover of Goodbye by a guy called Robert Crosbie on Beates-A-Rama!! and his voice sounded right like Paul. Almost identical to the bootleg version too.

Day Tripper on the Jimi Hendrix Radio One album. Maybe better, in it's own way. Raucous.

I was just reading the Wiki article on Fats Domino and it says he did great versions of Lady Madonna and other Beatles songs including "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey"?

Can this be true?  Anybody heard the Fat Man who walked to New Orleans doing this song?  It's got to be either horrible or great.  

No Jimi Hendrix Day Tripper on the Uncut list?  And I like Joe Cocker's With A little help from my Friends better than She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.

And Steve Earle's "I'm Looking Through You" is awesome.

Chet Atkins Picks the Beatles is a nice piece of work too.  With liner notes by George Harrison.

Richie Havens "Here Comes the Sun."

Jerry Garcia Band (and Dead Boots) of "Dear Prudence"

Neil Young Imagine

bob Dylan Yesterday (bootleg with George)

Hey Jude Wilson Pickett (with Duane Allman)

Johnny Cash In My Life

Forgot about the Steve Earle. It is excellent. And Cash's version of In My Life is one of the best Beatles covers I've ever heard.

The Uncut list is 50% predictable and 50% just damned wierd.
