Beatles Covers: Something vs Oh Darling

Oh Darling, neither is as good as the originals though.

Two of my all-time favorite Beatles tracks and both from the best album in their entire catalog (IMHO).

The Joe Cocker version of Something was kinda wonky. The first couple of lines were a bit shakey but it came together I think in a decent style that is Cocker's style, but the keyboards throughout the song from the too-long intro on to the end of the song are quite annoying and are misplaced... just the wrong sound for that song. Cocker was ok though, once he got going.

I like Graham Bonnet, cool set of pipes, but his version sounds almost forced. The music in his cover isn't nearly as annoying as the first track in the poll, so I guess I'll give my vote to Oh Darling. I'm with LG as I don't think either cover even remotely compares to the originals.

^^ Those keyboards I agree are annoying but Joe does a good job.

I prefer Graham Bonnet's cover of Oh Darling. He has a really good voice!

Oh wow!

Bonnet's "insane" cover is my choice. Dude just wails on it... Yeah, he could have dialed it down a notch.

I liked the version of Something, but neither is as good as the originals.
