Okay I just found out there's a seperate list for best cover songs.

 

[SchindlerHaughton]

Come Together shouldn't be top 10.

Agreed, and it is not better than While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

oh wow, thanks.

Didnt want to have to buy the book just to read it

Some very questionable choices

Sexy Sadie- 93
Ballad of John and Yoko- 49
Baby Youre A Rich Man (That song is a joke!)- 68
You're Going to Lose That Girl- 27 (pretty good song, ranked too high)
Dig a Pony- 92
(VERY happy to see the night before in the top 50 and I Should Have Known Better in the top 40)

There were some great choices here. Love the inclusion of songs like The Night Before and Hey Bulldog. But it almost seems random. The abbey road medley worse than Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds?

Still, a very good list overall, just have some problems.

But again I am really to see the night before and i should have known better that high. Youre Going To Lose that girl is good, but ranked too high.f

On The Beatles board on IMDB, a fan posted it because she has the magazine.
