    • 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

      alcxxk @meths | 11 Jul '06, 16:00 | X
      • its ok

        but not incredible. some punk versions are ok too, but the soul ones are def best.

        meths @alcxxk | 11 Jul '06, 16:01 | X
        • also: Peter Sellers' versions of She Loves You

          are great

          alcxxk @meths | 11 Jul '06, 16:04 | X

        • 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

    RockNRollMassacre | 11 Jul '06, 22:12 | X
  • 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.

      wrightylew | 12 Jul '06, 10:55 | X
      • which beatles one

        did oasis do?

        meths @wrightylew | 12 Jul '06, 11:17 | X
        • I am the Walrus and Octupus Garden, amongst others

          Elliott Smith doing 'Because' on the American Beauty soundtrack was choice.

          Teepee_uk @meths | 12 Jul '06, 11:29 | X
          • 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

            meths @Teepee_uk | 12 Jul '06, 11:41 | X
    • good lord

      no one has mentioned Siouxsie and the Banshees version of Dear Prudence

      possibly/probably the best Beatles cover ever

      Anschul | 12 Jul '06, 11:38 | X
      • Oh yeah

        joeymahone @Anschul | 12 Jul '06, 11:59 | X
    • Hendrix's cover of "Day Tripper" is a beast of a song

      Where/when did he do "Tomorrow Never Knows"?

      joeymahone | 12 Jul '06, 11:59 | X
    • Roots Manuva did a dubby version of Yellow Submarine

      it rules

      joeymahone | 12 Jul '06, 12:00 | X
    • Hendrix doing Tomorrow Never Knows is amazing. Phil Collins doing it is interesting. Not good.
