One of my favorite groups of all time – The Beatles. They are perhaps the most covered band of all time and for good reason. They influenced so many and in fact continue to do so today. Most covers are a sign of respect, and no everyone can get it right. I prefer the covers that pay homage to the original but still let you know that they are their own performances. Here are some that I think do that.
In no particular order…
I Am the Walrus – Oasis – 1995
Got To Get You Into My Life – Earth, Wind, and Fire – 1977
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds – The Hooters – 1987
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds – Andy Timmons – 2011
Cheap Trick – Daytripper – 1979
Dave Matthews – In My Life – 2001
Across The Universe – Rufus Wainwright – 2002
She Came In Through The Bathroom Window – Ike and TINA Turner – 1970
Peace!
