I really like the Joan Baez cover... He voice is soothing. The Aretha Franklin one is pretty erratic! Doesn't really sound like the original. Always fun to listen to different version and to see how they differ from the original...
ReplyDeleteI like the "David Cook" cover. I loved it when I watched it on American Idol. I am not the biggest Beatles fan, but I do appreciate their music and what they have done! Plus October is right, different people use covers to make the originals their own, which is why I like the David Cook the best! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI really like this song. The original is naturally my favorite but i also really like the thrice song. The website looks wonderful :]
ReplyDeleteI found it fascinating that so many people covered this song, and how diverse all the covers were. I give credit to the Beatles for creating such a well-composed song that it has the capabilities of being transformed into many other possibilities! Though, of course, none of which are as great as the original ;)
ReplyDeleteI see this all the time! I've even tried to cover certain songs on drums, although none are ever AS good as the original, but I come pretty close ;)
ReplyDeleteI knew that the Beatles were a popular band to cover, but I did not know that there were so many covers made about this particular song! It must be really popular. I guess that just goes to show you when great music is created, how far it can inspire people from all different genres to cover and create complimentary covers.
