Over the last several weeks, I have listened to hundreds of Beatles covers. After reading several threads about the best and worst Beatles covers, and after reading several newspaper articles on the same subject, I decided to listen to every cover I could find. I started to make a list, which grew and grew, until eventually I had to put it in order. I was amazed at the huge amount of covers, from such a diverse group of people. Everyone from: Elvis Presley, Elvis Costello, Frank Sinatra, Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Kate Bush, David Bowie, Elton John, Liberace, Bing Crosby, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton, One Direction, etc. I realised that practically every Beatles song, from Love Me Do through to Real Love, had been covered, either in the studio or live, by well known or cult favourite acts. A handful of them have only been covered by other professional acts a couple of times, but many of them have been covered many times. Anyway, I am going to post the list below, just so that we have an orderly list of covers of every Beatles song, and to make it easier in future to find covers of a certain song. Some of the covers are excellent, some of them appalling, many of them are humorous (and not always intentionally), and some of them are incredibly weird (Mae West singing Day Tripper?). I have not listed every cover of every song (there are literally thousands of covers of Yesterday for instance), and if you find any not on my list, please post them below. Some of the covers are only fragments, such as when Nirvana used to jokingly sing Beatles songs when the power went out at their live shows, but I still thought that they were an interesting inclusion. Michael Jackson singing a bit of Dig It in the studio was also a surprisingly interesting listen. I have also included a few songs where a Beatles song was sampled in another song. I hope that you enjoy listening to them, and please post your opinions, whether positive or negative, about each cover. I have been very impressed that so many other singers and groups have covered the Beatles songs; it really hammers home how huge they are. I have also been surprised that so many acts from the 40's and 50's have covered them, as well as many of today's young singers, from Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Emeli Sande, Eliza Doolittle and Paloma Faith. Many well known actors have also covered them, and I have also included these in the list, although I have intentionally ignored Glee and the Across The Universe film covers, because I don't see them in quite the same way. Finally, I have also listed the times where acts like the Stone Roses, the Velvet Underground and Queen incorporated the riff from certain Beatles songs into their live shows or jamming sessions, just because it interested me. I have heard 95% of the songs, mainly on the internet, but a handful of them are only available on albums that I do not have, or on albums that are about to come out (The Flaming Lips version of Sgt. Pepper and the Art of McCartney album). Thankfully these albums are coming out soon, so we won't have to wait long to hear them.

Got a little insomnia going on, do you? Always wondered if there was a limit as to how long a post could be, apparently not.
I am glad that you like the thread. Feel free to post your opinions about any of the best of worst covers.
You missed Bob Dylan - Something. Also, do you count covers by a different member of the Beatles to who originally sang it? If so, you should count Ringo Starr - I Call Your Name, Paul McCartney - Something and For You Blue, John Lennon - I Saw Her Standing There, and George Harrison - In My Life.
I only wish I had this amount of free time, but I have to give you a hell of a lot of credit for perseverance. There are some here I haven't heard that I'd like to check out, but man, a lot of these have to be downright painful to sit through.
You can add: Michael Hedges - Tomorrow Never Knows Daniel Ash - Day Tripper And the absolutely atrocious cover of "Hey Jude" by The Fabulous Conti Family. I wish I could have found a stream of this.
Incredible! I was wondering where you were lately. Now I know. Son Volt did Hello, Goodbye for an ESPN commercial celebrating David Beckham's soccer debut in LA. 2007.
I thought you'd been a bit quiet around here lately! Got to fill that delay on the V&M and WATSOS Archive releases somehow! Fantastic job. I can't even imagine how much work this took.... Thanks also for including Olivia's version of The Long & Winding Road. A lot of people forget that one!
Enjoyed your list. You might also consider covers of complete albums. One of my favorites is the 2 disc set Mojo magazine did for the White Album. If I remember correctly they also did cover albums of Let It Be, Abbey Road, Revolver, Rubber Soul and maybe a couple more. Didn't Cheap Trick cover the Sgt Pepper album? I think this kind of thing does show how popular the group was and how well known, by more than just the people that bought their records, they were. Many of the younger forum members make fun of all the discussions about the Beatles but they don't really understand the impact they had in the 60's. A fun list, thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions, and I am glad that you like the list. It is easier to list those who didn't cover the Beatles, than those who did, such was their impact. I have actually included the Mojo cover albums in my list.
Yes, it did take quite a lot of effort. You are completely right, some of these covers are horrendous.
I am glad that you liked it. I am actually a fan of all of Olivia's covers of Beatles and solo Beatles songs.
Thanks for the suggestions. I wasn't counting the Beatles covering other Beatles songs, but there is no reason why we shouldn't add them to the list.
I am glad that you like it and thanks for the addition of Son Volt. It is staggering how many Beatles covers have been done.
Great suggestions. I will have to add these to the list, which seems like it will just keep on getting longer and longer.
Not wishing to sidetrack, but other than TLAWR and a couple of George Harrison songs, did she do any other Beatles related tracks? I've got practically everything she ever recorded but I can't think of any more at the minute!
I have been working on this for the last month or so. Once I had found a cover for every song, I decided to stop and just post it. We can update the list whenever we want from now on.
