WHY would you waste time listening to a cover when you can listen to the original. No one does the Beatles like the Beatles.

Anne Murray does a good "You Won't See Me"

Because we get to see awesome artist worship better creators. My baby is Annie - voice that sends me with second-hand lyrics. It’s the voice imprinted upon an old song. She rocks. Others do as well, but that is my baby since 1982. First and last album I purchased was Touch.

R25 wins for dumbest comment.

Sometimes a cover can reinvent a song. I love Eleanor Rigby with the original string arrangement but I also like this rock version by Australian band Zoot.

That's Rick Springfield at 2:05.

I never paid much attention to covers of them. In the 60s we listened to The Brothers Four Sing The Beatles and Chet Atkins guitar album. They were both good. I think the Carpenters Ticket To Ride is awful.
