Clapton already did the solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on the White Album. A Perfect Circle did the best cover of Imagine yet to exist. Close enough to a Beatles cover.

Yes, but in the vid I posted. He's singing with Paul. Not just playing guitar. But just to be different. Here's blind Canadian Guitarist Jeff Healy preforming While my guitar gently weeps. Boyz II Men - Yesterday |

Kenny Lattimore, my favorite R&B singer of the past forever, and a completely underrated singer, has done a couple of amazing Beatles covers. First, My Guitar Gently Weeps:
And I Love Her:

Ella Fitzgerald did some really great covers - Can't Buy Me Love, Got to Get You Into My Life, Hey Jude, Hard Day's Night, maybe a few others.
Michael Jackson's cover of Come Together is pretty great, as is Aerosmith's.

James Taylor's cover of "In My Life" at the Oscars a few years ago for their In Memoriam segment was amazing.

There's something of a bottomless pit of "Come Together" covers. Hell, even Godsmack did one:
However, one of my favorites outside the original was the one by Michael Jackson. Tina Turner did a cover too; not bad, either:

I know it's not his originally but I consider "With a Little Help from my friends" as a Joe Cocker song, as his version is so f***ing good and is IMO the definitive version.
This is my pick :
Yes, that is Robert Smith on Bass.

Awesome hard rock cover of Eleanor Rigby from the 70s. They completely re-arranged it, it sounds like nothing like the original instrumentally and it rocks.

And, of course, this happened some how:  I adore Zappa and the Mother's take on I am The Walrus: |
