Info: The Beatles Covers Project is a collection of covers of all Beatles songs: album by album, track by track. B-sides and non-album tracks, too. For each song, I picked a different band or artist. The list includes many well known acts (Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Black Keys, Grateful Dead, Elton John, Sonic Youth, Jimi Hendrix, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Oasis...), but also obscure folk singers, tribute bands, jazz pianists, classical orchestras, angry punkers, crazy headbangers and brave electrowizards. Most songs have been recorded
after the Beatles, but some versions come from
before (in their first albums, Beatles actually covered some already existing songs). First version of this project has been published in March 2010, then it has been regularly updated. By Christmas 2015, the original recordings by The Beatles have finally landed on Spotify. Nonetheless, I think this collection can still give you some hours of good sonic pleasure. It's available in full form (with all 199 songs) and/or by album.
