BEATLES COVERS THAT WILL BLOW UR MIND

I thought it would be fun to put together a list of some of the best BEATLES covers out there. They are the most prolific group in the history of popular music and its difficult not to want to give them a space here (not to mention the fact that they wrote a ton of spectacular songs). And its really a big challenge for me to find the flowers amidst the thorns. My choice is geared more towards mainstream artists but I also included some indie musicians to diversify the list.

SHERYL CROW- MOTHER NATURE'S SON best cover rendition from a female artist. As always, Sheryl is amazing!


EDDIE VEDDER (from Pearl Jam)- YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE UR LOVE AWAY i love this man!...Vedder is a Lennon reincarnated!

STEREOPHONICS- DONT LET ME DOWN wish ko na sana ako na lang si Chantal Kreviazuk!



FIONA APPLE- ACROSS THE UNIVERSE phenominal cover!...one of my fave Beatles song!



SARA MACLACHLAN- BLACKBIRD another great take from a very talented artist like Sara...like the way she "owned" the song!


ELLIOT SMITH- BECAUSE

BOYZ II MEN- YESTERDAY

BEN HARPER- STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

ALISON KRAUSS- I WILL

SARA BAREILLES- OH DARLING

FIONA APPLE'S ANGEL

My favorite singer Fiona Apple singing Jimi Hendrix' ANGEL...If only he's alive, i bet he'll be very proud of her incredibly amazing performance.

"Fly on by, sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I will be right by your side"

My TOP 10 Cover Version .

These are my favorite cover versions as of now. It's a hard choice actually pero sana magustuhan niyo ang lists ko.

10. Utada Hikaru- With or without you (U2 cover)

Japanese diva Utada Hikaru did an amazing job with this U2 classic. Im sure hindi siya mapapahiya pag napanood or narinig ito ni Bono.

9. Travis- Baby, One more time (Britney Spears cover)


Didn't mind the original. This cover is better. Kudos to Travis to take a truly awful pop song and made it to a credible acoustic song.

8. Cake- I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor cover)

I love this band. Isa sila sa pinakamagaling na banda pag live performance na ang pinag-uusapan. Perhaps this is one of the best performance by CAKE.

6. Cyndi Lauper- Carey (Joni Mitchell cover)

I always love Cyndi!...Its just so unortunate that she's not that popular sa younger generation ngayon. When will they recognize how talented she is!!!

5. Jars of Clay- Crazy Love

Jars of Clay is probably the most popular christian band na nakapenetrate sa mainstream music scene. This version is originally done by an artists named Poco.
One of the most beautiful song ive heard.

3. Ari Hest- Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover)

1. Fiona Apple- I Want You (Elvis Costello orig.)

A bloody interpretation of Elvis Costello song. I'm really having a goosebumps everytime na naririnig ko ang kantang to. Sa video niya- inggit na inggit ako na sana andun ako sa audience while Fiona's nailing this song!!!.

I absolutely adore her!...She's so intense and passionate. She really loses herself in the song.
