I just heard Alice Cooper and the Bee Gees (together~) covering "Because", and that was...frightening.

I've got A Perfect Circle covering "Imagine." It's actually quite good.

I'm a Beatles Zealot. There are all of two covers, total, I can think of from Beatles songs that don't make me angry in a cringey sort of way. One is the "Little Help From my Friends" cover HJoe Cocker did (and I KNOW I got the name wrong there), and the other is the "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" cover the Traveling Wilburys along with Prince did at last year's Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductions.

Ah. None of my covers are for you then. Frankly, while I like the Beatles and John, their voices in some songs just make me cringe. I like the songs and the music, but the vocals just don't do anything for me. Besides that, I like the groups/people that do the covers anyway. Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainright, Perfect Circle, all artists that I like anyway. I think the only group I can't take covers for at all is Nine Inch Nails. Never ever heard of cover of their songs that I've liked.

Well, the Richard Cheese version of Closer is fun...
As for Beetles covers, I always liked Boyz II Men's cover of yesterday. And the afforementioned Fiona Apple. Love when she sings, hate when she speaks.

Which is why she doesn't release spoken word albums.

If you're looking for a good Beatles cover Wally, I suggest Rufus Wainright's cover of Across the Universe which is really good. I also I second the notion that Fiona Apple should never record a spoken word album lest she mention that if cross her she'll get her boyfriend to pull a quarter of our ears.
Right now really digging the Flying Lutenbachers album Infection and Decline and getting back into mid90s Stereolab. Dots and Loops is such a great album.

Let's see if I can actually do this, I have a little bit of a music problem. I buy about 100$ worth of music every other week or so. Top Ten Albums in no exact order:
The Roots- Do You Want More
The Smiths- Hatful of Hollow
The Clash- London Calling
Cursive- The Ugly Organ
Digable Planets- Reachin' a New Refutation of Time and Space
Black Eyed Peas- Behind the Front
Weezer- The Blue Album
Black Star- The Black Star Album
N*E*R*D- Fly or Die
Maxwell- Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite
Favorite songs:
Letters to Cleo's cover of I Want You to Want Me
Cursive's Art is Hard
The Root's Silent Treatment
The Smith's This Handsome Man
The Smith's Frankly Mr. Shankly
The Clash's Spanish Bombs
The Root's Dynamite
Digable Planet's Cool Like Dat (Rebirth of Slick)
The Brand New Heavies Featuring Mastah Ace Wake me When I'm Dead
Jawbreaker's Bad Scene Everyone's Fault
Also it's not on my list because it's pretty new to me still but John Legend's Get Lifted is a very good album.
