Imagine good covers of Beatles (and post-Beatles) songs | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Here are some of mine (for this game, the musician or band you pick doesn't have to be still around or alive necessarily):

Drive My Car -- Earth, Wind & Fire (with a funkier soul edge plus brass)

Norwegian Wood -- Bob Dylan (also have Dylan replace the flute at the end with his signature harmonica)

I Saw Her Standing There -- Tom Jones

Things We Said Today -- a Latin pop version, with Gloria Estefan and Linda Ronstadt doing the vocals in Spanish ("Te dices que me almas/Si yo tendria a ir..."), with Carlos Santana on guitar, and Latin percussion (congas, timbales, etc.)

I Will -- duet with Phoebe Snow and Stephen Bishop

I'm So Tired -- duet with David Bowie and David Byrne

Julia -- Emmylou Harris, with mandolin, fiddle, accordion

Penny Lane -- James Taylor

Here Comes The Sun -- Neil Diamond

Post-Beatles:

Man We Was Lonely -- Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young -- with Neil Young doing the main single-part vocals

My Love -- Barry Manilow

Power Cut -- the Roche Sisters

You Are Here -- okay work with me on this and step out of the box, maybe take a hit of acid first:  Frank Sinatra

Mother -- This is the strangest cover idea yet I think -- imagine this:  Emmylou Harris doing a kind of slow and stately country version (with guitar strum, mandolin, sad fiddle sound etc.)

Comic Relief:

A Day In The Life -- Leonard Nimoy doing John's part, and William Shatner doing Paul's part, with John Tesh arranging and conducting the orchestra.

Okay, I think I've done enough damage for now...
