I'm working on a project & I'm trying to think of any good covers that bands (besides Pearl Jam) have done of the Beatles or solo members.
ANY suggestions....BESIDES 'I AM SAM' soundtrack...

thanks.

    Don't forget Ray Charles "Eleanor Rigby" and Johnny Cash did a cover of "In My Life" ...great versions!
    Oh, and I just finished watching the movie "Funny People" and Adam Sandler sings Lennon's "Real Love" that isn't bad either, not bad for Adam Sandler anyway! Please post all your findings once you've made your compilation, I'd love to see what you come up with, Thanks and Good Luck!

    She Said by Gov't Mule or The Black Keys
    Check out the I Am Sam soundtrack
    Ben Harper, The Black Crowes, and Sarah McLachlan do some pretty good covers.

    The beatles A-Z, they cover every beatles song/album/solo work (most of it so far I think).

    Neil Young - A Day in the Life.

    Think he covers it quite a bit ... I lucked out on seeing him cover it and be joined by McCartney

    this is how i discovered aerosmith.

    Not how I discovered them...but how I began giving two shits about them. They do a great cover.

    I've heard a pretty cool cover of Come Together by Soundgarden too.
