Paste Magazine.com has published The 50 Best Beatles Covers of All Time.
"Earlier this week, iTunes announced it would finally offer songs from The Beatles catalog, but their previous omission had done little to stem the influence of the Fab Four on generations of musicians. Few songwriters have been so thoroughly covered as Lennon/McCartney, and the diversity of Beatles covers is a tribute to the Liverpudlians unmatched mark on pop music...
I’ve selected only one version of each song for our list, and each artist only appears once. I’ve also tried to limit the selections from any one album like the I Am Sam soundtrack or Rubber Soul anniversary tribute. And if I’ve missed your favorite Beatles cover, add it in the comments section—hopefully that just means there’s plenty for you to discover among the 50 that did make the cut (or you can use it as an opportunity to question my sanity)." Josh Jackson for Paste Magazine.
Number 24 ( a number I would definitely disagree with) is the famous version of the song that "Charles Manson stole from The Beatles" and U2 stole back:
Amazing version of one of the songs considered to be the mother (or father) of hard rock, Sir Paul Mc Cartney has said it was one of the best versions of a Beatle song, I guess it deserves a better ranking in that (obviously) subjective list.
