Can you add my all time favorite singer's rendition of "In My Life" (Susan Ashton)? It comes from the "Come Together - America Salutes The Beatles" LP. It might have a few others you like too.
"If I fell" "Goodnight" "Mother natures son" "Blackbird" "do you want to know a secret" "I'll follow the sun" "Got to get you into my life" "With a little help" "and your bird can sing" "Carry that weight/Golden slumbers/the end" A lot of the earlier stuff, too much too list. I tend to not care for a lot of the more "popular" stuff that some do I guess, more the acoustic stuff and the catchier earlier tunes.
A couple others from my collection that I don't see: Revolution - Stereophonics (from one of the Jools Holland collaboration albums) I'll Cry Instead - Rhett Miller (live album - Old 97's lead singer). I Saw Her Standing There - Lennon & Elton b-side. Elton also released a b-side with a live medley of Whole Lotta Shakin/Saw Her Standing There/Twist & Shout.
Great suggestions. Here is the list of songs to add so far: Bob Dylan : Something Michael Hedges : Tomorrow Never Knows Daniel Ash : Day Tripper The Fabulous Conti Family : Hey Jude San Volt : Hello Goodbye The Clefs Of Lavender Hill : It Won't Be Long Wayne Brady : Can't Buy Me Love Ayreon : When I'm 64 Olivia Newton-John : Honey Pie The Sunshine Company : I Need You Elvis Costello: All I've Got To Do, And Your Bird Can Sing, Girl, Please Please Me, Elvis Costello and Sophie Von Otter: For No One The Godz : You Won't See Me Reba McEntire : If I Fell Spanky and Our Gand : And Your Bird Can Sing Lorrie Morgan : Eight Days A Week Roger Nichols and the Small Circle Of Friends : I'll Be Back World Party: Penny Lane, Dear Prudence, Cry Baby Cry, Fixing A Hole The Surprise Sisters : Got To Get You Into My Life Charlie Dore : Here Comes The Sun Trash : Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight George Burns : With A Little Help From My Friends Susan Ashton and Gary Chapman : In My Life Sugarcult : A Hard Days Night The Knack : A Hard Days Night Tanya Tucker : Something John Berry : The Long and Winding Road Delbert McClinton : Come Together Colin Raye : Let It Be Billy Dean : Yesterday Little Texas : Help! Steve Wariner : Get Back Kris Kristofferson : Paperback Writer Stereophonics : Revolution Rhett Miller : I'll Cry Instead Elton John and John Lennon: I Saw Her Standing There

The first songs I looked up were Dig It, Wild Honey Pie, and Revolution 9. I can't believe people actually covered those songs! Amazing list.
Thanks for this great list. When we cannot find any more covers, I will add all of your suggestions to a new updated list.
Joe Cocker also gets bonus points in this regard: Let It Be Something You've Got To Hide Your Love Away And, for when you start on your solo list... Maybe I'm Amazed Jealous Guy Beware of Darkness EDIT: Note, I'm only including stuff that's actually been released on legit cds/lps/wax cylinders, etc.

Funnily enough, I have already started a solo list, so this is very helpful. I am very impressed with Screamin' Jay Hawkins version of Monkberry Moon Delight.
