Cover Songs That Are Better Than The Beatles/Lennon Originals

[Padders]

Helter Skelter - Siouxsie & The Banshees

This one

 

[Davido]

Lucy in the sky with Diamonds-Mercury Rev

 

[Ditchboy]

Yesterday-Marvin Gaye

 

[chez]

Strawberry Fields - Candy Flip

 

[Jamon Jamon]

This is absurd, did anyone actually read the question or is it just list as many cover versions as you can? One of my favourite bands is Sparks and they did a cover version of I Wanna Hold You Hand, as good as it is it's not better than the original.

'Get by with a little help from my friends' Joe Cocker was 10 times better than the Ringo Starr dirge on St Peppers.

Even Peter Sellars version of Help was rubbish.

I tried to avoid this, but I can't resist winding up the "oh but oh but oh, we're talking about the best band ever (brigade!) No mere mortal could come close to the originality, genius etc. and so on and so forth or perhaps minor seventh? hmmmmm you decide." Right...

Two words - Deep Purple:

1= Help,
2= We Can Work it Out.

Totally rocked up and Blackmored into oblivion.

The Mighty Purps, once ruled the world and yes... it was gooooooodddd!

Kosh - responsible for 360 posts of quality footballing insight, poetry, raving, scorching beauty and musical madness from the celestial ocean.. somewhere in the blackness inbetween those distant points of light and oh I'm alone... and oh so cold..

Joe Cocker took a catchy Beatles 'pop' song and took it to another level,
here he is at Woodstock.

Joe Cocker was (when at his peak), a fantastic showman and one of the true great vocalists of the greatest era in modern musical history... His performance at Woodstock is breathtaking! and this is a fact no true music lover could possibly deny.

Rock on Joe!

worst peice of shit i have ever heard

 

[Kosh]

Well it must surely come second to: Octopus Garden or Within you Without You, Revolution Number 9, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - all bloody dross.

and lest we forget: Maxwells Silver Hammer, or the long long long long and boring bloody sodding winding whining road.

Lennon and McCartney were more than capable of producing shit songs too.

And although it pains me to admit it! So is every band in the world if not the entire universe!

Kosh

Shit! I almost forgot: Hey Jude, it came on in a club once, I was sick around about the six min mark... Oh God here it comes again... arghhhhhhhh

Sums up your musical taste, or rather lack of, then doesn't it.
