The Feelies - Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey

my fave is The Breeders version of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun"

also Bongwater´s covers of "Love You Too" and "Rain"

The Godz cover has the same naivist approach of bands like Maher Shalal Hash Baz or The Shaggs. I love it, thanks for the recommendation.

Not as quirky as most of the covers posted so far but I love Caetano Veloso's take on Lady Madonna and For No One. Probably two of my favorite Beatles covers.

Also Dillard & Clark's Don't Let Me Down is a nice country rock take. Not as good as the Ghana cover above but then, how could it?

yeah my fav posted on this thread so far (which I never heard before) was the beach boys one shakey threw up there, prob the most conventional one

I like the Dillards "I've Just Seen A Face" a lot, it's on Wheatstraw Suite.

Rita Lee from Os Mutantes has a Beatles cover album... probably a bit on the safe side of things but All My Loving sounds perfect on a bossa arrangement.

Also fond of the Supremes take on Come Together. Find it kind of sexy.

ILX search function is your friend:

best beatles covers. ever.

Also Radiohead's cover of Sexy Sadie is an improvement on the original imho:
