The sad loss of Joe Cocker brought lots of posts featuring his brilliant cover of With A Little Help From My Friends and it reminded me of a couple of ridiculous arguments on here on whether the Beatles were the best band ever. Someone wrote, They werent up to that much. Well, you cant ague with a moron. Sure, everyone has a different opinion on music, but Im petty sure that none of those who rated anyone higher had been around in the Beatles heyday and had certainly never seen them live. Lets forget that they served their apprenticeship in the toughest way possible and honed their craft. They could sing and they could play without any gimmicks, just three small amps and a drum kit. When the Beatles split, all four had good careers and hits; all of them. Jon and Paul possessed two of the best rock voices ever! I couldnt even name all the members of Oasis or Blur of whatever has-been group you think of as the best. Below is a lists of successful artists, past and present, who have recorded Beatles songs. And its only artists whose names start with A and B so stop being so ridiculous!! Aerosmith Air Supply Herb Alpert Amen Corner PP Arnold Atomic Kitten Bad Company Joan Baez Kenny Ball Bananarama Pete Doherty Sara Bareilles Shirley Bassy The Beach Boys Beastie Boys BECK Jeff Beck Bee Gees (21 songs!!) Béla Fleck Belle and Sebastian Pat Banatar Cliff Bennett Tony Bennett George Benson Billy Joe Armstrong Cilla Black The Black Crowes The Black Keys Black Sabbath Blondie Blood, Sweat and Tears Michael Bolton Bon Jovi James Blunt Suzy Boguss Gary Us Bonds Graham Bonnet Bjork Bono Boney M Booker T and the M.G.’s David Bowie Boxer Boyz 11 Men Paul Brady Billy Bragg Russell Brand Gary Brooker The Brothers Four James Brown Mich Bublé Jeff Buckley Jean-Jacques Burnel George Burns Max Bygraves
