 Ugh, what's the point?? They took great songs and made them mediocre. Great job to them. They should stop now. |

I can't think of anything either. I haven't ever heard a Beatle cover that I like. Maybe I'm presumptuous, but for good or for bad, the originals are the best. Everything I've heard from reggae to country to punk is contrived at best and weak at worst. You can't improve on perfection. Flattery aside-go to the source
What do you think of Joe Cocker's With a Little Help From My Friends? I've heard it been called the definitive version and so on. Even by Paul I think. Personally I think Ringo's has more charm. |

That's a good example Sandra, I guess. JC's versions of 'Little Help' and 'Bathroom Window' were very cool for the time, but if I had my choice, it's no choice. Ringo's voice fit it best. What can you say? Some poachers did a better job than others, but it's still the Beatles... |

Rolf Harris to do Across The Universe (with wobble board of course.)
Kevin, you got me into this whole wobble board thing. Got to make one and get going on it. How about wobble board on "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for me and My Monkey" in place of that damned cowbell? In terms of covers I'd like to hear Elvis or Jerry Lee in their prime do "Oh Darling" or "Love me Do" by Wilco. |

I would have loved to have heard the Clash remake a Beatles or Lennon song. That would have been cool no matter what. |

I don't know. But some remakes are the worst. I suppose the worst cover ever recorded was Michael Jackson's 'Come Together'. The worst! |

Marilyn Manson to do Let It Be. Rolf Harris to do Across The Universe (with wobble board of course.)
Anything irreverant really. Just to remind us that all this shouldn't be taken too seriously.
the aussie comedian Kevin "Bloody" Wilson does a scathing satire of Harris in "Why Doesn't Rolf Harris Just ****-off and die"..it's one of the funniest things I ever heard. Nobody in the States even remembers anymore the guy who did "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" so when you said you'd like to see him do a Beatles cover, I nearly fell over ..haha  good one. |

a login & password...for what? to get these songs that you posted? I didn't. Are you referring to getting other songs from their website or someplace else? World Party did a sweet version of "Man We Was Lonely" from the McCartney tribute album. |
