BEATLES COVER PROJECT: A Hard Day's Night

This is my favorite 'old' album. I guess because it's the first album that consists mostly originals. I wonder if that's why the quality of covers is better?

Anyway, the quality of covers is much better, even if you disregard all the Beach Boys stuff. Many standouts on here for me, including the Maroon 5 and Sugarcult covers. I'm a little lukewarm on the She and Him cover, although I like the intent. Please leave a comment with your favorite cover and why.

I SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER: The Beach Boys


IF I FELL: Maroon 5

Beatles Cover Project: WITH THE BEATLES

While a little easier than PLEASE, PLEASE ME, WITH THE BEATLES still proved to be a bit of a challenge. Sorry about "All I've Got to Do." Redemption comes from Franz Ferdinand, Robert Palmer, and, as much as I hate to say it, Amy Winehouse.
