  by The Wedding Present is good. As is Lucy In The Sky by Elton John. Honestly.

    - 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?
    
    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.
