Jealous Guy covered by Roxy Music and also Bryan Ferry alone.

crw59...
Sinatra - Something


I can't think of many others.

I guess I'd vote for Marianne Faithful's Working Class Hero.


yanks and knicks...
I love U2's version of Helter Skelter (on Rattle & Hum)


gofab.com...
Mary Chapin Carpenter's cover of "Grow Old Along With Me." She took an
inconsequential little performance by Lennon and turned it into something
beautiful.

DanKaye...
You beat me to it! Yes, that is one of my favorites and I'm not a big
fan of her's.


BlackMonk...
It was also covered by The Faces, who did a version of "Maybe I'm Amazed,"
as well.

bottlebleu...
Madonna's version of 'Hi Hi Hi' was excellent...


DanKaye...
Richie Havens' Working Class Hero is above average.
Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Grow Old Along With Me" is fantastic!


fattuchus...
Linda Ronstadt did a nice version of Goodnight. I think it is superior
to Ringo's singing (sorry)


MFalc1...
The post-9/11 cover of IMAGINE by Neil Young.

scrinine...
Cheap Trick - "Day Tripper"

Dee...
Jimi Hendrix - Day Tripper ...appropriate, no?
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Blackbird

DanKaye...
But the subject is SOLO Beatles tunes...


fattuchus...
Melissa's version was very nice.
