Cover artistry ... what's your favourite version of a Beatles song?
Thanks for all your suggestions about food-related songs.
This week, let's take a cue from the fact that Steve Jobs and the Beatles' estate are at it again over the use of the brand Apple. Of all the fruit in all the world, they both had to pick that one. That's one reason, alongside the notorious preciousness of Apple Corps boss Neil Aspinall, that the Beatles remain aloof from the download throng.
However, the holders of their publishing rights (including one M. Jackson) have always been less discriminating and the cover versions are plentiful. As a change from recent broad themes such as plants and food, I'd like to collect 10 of the most interesting Beatles covers, from the cheesy to the sublime.
Post-split solo material also counts and they don't all have to be available to download. And if Stelios could please refrain from posting his CV on the blog this week that would be peachy.
Deadline for recommendations is Monday 1pm. The archive of previous columns is accessible here, and you can also see an A-Z of every single song that has appeared in the weekly playlists.
