[twangs]

+2 for Yes - Every Little Thing She Does
I'd add to this list...

Toad the Wet Sprocket - Hey Bulldog

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers did a cool version of Taxman on Concert for George

Check out Nickle Creek's version of Taxman.

Styx version of I Am the Walrus

And that YouTube performance of Jake Shimabukuro's rendition of My Guitar Gently Weeps done on Ukelele!

I was absolutely flabbergasted when I found this video! I absolutely love it! and it features a 330!

This is probably similar to how I would cover it if it ever came to that,

Tomorrow Never Knows - Youtube character

[congerz83]

Heard the Eric Gales version of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" AMAZING!!!!!

[mgauction]

I am the Walrus - Spooky Tooth

There was an all female band called Fanny back in the early seventies, in fact, I think they started out as Fanny Hill. Anyways, to make a long story short, they did an awesome cover of Hey Bulldog!

Good one, Charly! Loved that band. They opened up for a lot of shows at the Santa Monica Civic.

Another for EW and F's "Got To Get You Into My Life", which is one of Macca's better one's....

[sowhat]

Speaking of "Slow down" — albeit technically, it wasn't a Beatles song — how about this one?

My vote also goes for Samiam's version of "Cry baby cry".

[phlemmy]

Aerosmith did a great cover of Helter Skelter.

I didn't know they covered it, I've only heard the Crue's version.

I pretty much detest The Beatles, but I liked this version of Eleanor Rigby by Sacred Rite.

What about the Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie soundtrack.




I am joking, of course. Hollywood at it's absolute worst.

The soundtrack to the movie "I Am Sam" is all Beatles covers and it has some pretty good ones on it. Rufus Wainwright doing "Across the Universe", Eddie Vedder doing "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away", Ben Folds doing "Golden Slumbers", Nick Cave doing "Here Comes The Sun". There are quite a few really good ones on that one soundtrack.
