Beatles Covers

So what's your favorite cover of a Beatle song?
I'll start with Scott Sawyer doing Tax Man.

I'm gonna have to go with.....none. I'm kind of a Beatles purist when it comes to this stuff. I enjoy some covers and then some just never come close to the originals. For me, the Beatles covers usually fall into the last category.

A very different version of Dr. Robert from the Raisins, 1980.

+1 on the Angelical voice of Alison Krauss. I bought her live double disc about 10 yrs ago. And man, it is so pure. She could compete with Adele in vocal content and soul, but Alison is a better musician.

Best covers of Beatles are Motley Crue's Helter Skelter and Aerosmith's Come Together. I actually heard the Crue version b4 the Beatle version, because they were really big when I was in elementary/middle school.
