the onyl good beatles covers
are the soul ones. see aretha franklin - elenor ribgy.
MOST of the others are total pap
Getting Better
by The Wedding Present is good. As is Lucy In The Sky by Elton John. Honestly.
the damned's version of Help!
is incredible
its ok
but not incredible. some punk versions are ok too, but the soul ones are def best.
also: Peter Sellers' versions of She Loves You
are great
actually that is good
Kristin Hersh
Everybodys gor someting to hide except for me and my monkey
trojan
I just bought a 3 cd trojan beatles covers record
it is mostly shit
that said there is one cds worth of aceness
The Breeders
Happiness Is A Warm Gun - is pretty much straight down the line but all the better for it.
I think the Pixies
version of 'Wild Honey Pie' is pretty good, particularly live.
Sonic Youth
Within You Without You
The Supremes version of..
You Can't do That - sublime
Vanilla Fudge's version of Ticket to Ride is great
The Four Tops' Eleanor Rigby is better than the original by far
there's tons of great beatles covers
Oasis
and The Vines remain the only people who haven't fucked up Beatles covers that I've heard.
which beatles one
did oasis do?
I am the Walrus and Octupus Garden, amongst others
Elliott Smith doing 'Because' on the American Beauty soundtrack was choice.
oh yeah
the i am the alrus version by oasis is not good i dont think. actually one of the weaker cover versions by anyone
good lord
no one has mentioned Siouxsie and the Banshees version of Dear Prudence
possibly/probably the best Beatles cover ever
Oh yeah
Hendrix's cover of "Day Tripper" is a beast of a song
Where/when did he do "Tomorrow Never Knows"?
Roots Manuva did a dubby version of Yellow Submarine
it rules
Hendrix doing Tomorrow Never Knows is amazing. Phil Collins doing it is interesting. Not good.
