There's only ONE Beatles cover that I consider great and that is "I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Cocker. Cocker's voice is amazing and the R&B feel of the performance is masterfully realized with the gorgeous harmonies of the background singers. I even like John Belushi's impersonation of it! Every other Beatles cover song is an abomination.
