I think my parents had a cassette tape of Sgt Pepper Knew My Father when I were a kid, can't remember if any of the non-Fall songs on it were good though.

Oh, and it's not strictly speaking a Beatles cover as such, but it includes lyrics by Lennon, so I reckon close enough:

I bought that.
I like it. Quite a bit of shite on it.
The fall is a high point. I liked the triffids version of good morning and three wise men doing St Peppers.
In fact I don't think I know the real album at all, just this one.
Wet wet wet is the low point.

A charming cover of one of my favourite Beatles tracks.
The piano on this song is sublime and convinces me I am not musical at all as I couldn't begin to fathom how to play this

all you need is workers' councils with democratically elected and instantly revocable delegates meeting on a regular basis to organize the distribution of the resources we all need to live.
la la la la la

All you need is song ...

I like this fairly straight cover of Here, There and Everywhere by the garage band Swamp Rats, from '66 so the same year as the original.

Hendrix famously covering it 2 days after it came out

 

[ferrelhadley]

Here Comes the Sun - Nina Simone. (edited been done)

 

[Oldboy]

 

[Yossarian]

Listening to a Booker T album this morning, and this psych-soul version of Something is wild

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Billy gives it some

 

[Knotted]

I really love this tropicália cover of Lady Madonna.

Bananarama - Help (featuring French and Saunders)

 

[mojo pixy]

Reminds me about




I genuinely hate straight cover versions though. Do something original with it, make it yours. This Throwing Muses version, might as well just listen to the original really.

 

[Sasaferrato]

The White Album because its got nothing on it

shame you cant say the same for the vinyl

Wot! Don't you like While My Guitar Gently Weeps?

Surprised this has come up yet. Best cover ever.

This live is more entertaining to watch but studio is available.
