Not sure if I like any Beatles cover better, maybe it would have to be a Beatles track I'm not over fussed on. There are endless amounts of decent covers of Beatles stuff though, during the funk era of the early 70s. One of the best of those is junior parkers take on taxman (used by cypress hill in hits from the bong).

Yeah, that was the best Motown Beatles cover probably. Most were horrible, ESPECIALLY Hey Jude by the Temptations. And Yesterday by Marvin Gaye, and Come Together by Diana Ross.
On the other hand, Can't Buy Me Love and Hard Day's Night by Diana & the Supremes are FANTASTIC. I mean that too, they're great!!!

With a Little Help From My Friends is in my top 10 beatles songs probably. I cant believe how many people said joe cocker's is better That freaks me out. However, i do think joe cockers She Came in Thru the Bathroom Window is really great. .

Damn it, you took it from me. But wow, does that song groove. Definitely a better overall version than the Beatles' I would say.

My Top 3 would be

Elton John: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Siouxie & the Banshees: Dear Prudence (although Helter Skelter is pretty good too)
John Denver: Mother Nature’s Son

All of them amazing. Elton John’s version is so Elton John-like that it is almost a parody. But brilliant. And after hearing John Denver you would swear that the Beatles must have covered him.

(And by the way, for me one of the worst songs of all time and certainly the worst Beatles cover is Joe Cocker’s crime. - And I love to hear Ringo singing the song.)
