List Of Cover Versions Of The Beatles Songs
This is a list of cover versions of notable music artists who have covered one or more songs written and recorded by The Beatles.
The Beatles were a critically and commercially successful band from the 1960s whose music is defined as being responsible for changing music history. Through this immense influence, many notable artists internationally began covering their original songs, most commonly written by lead singers and songwriters John Lennon and Paul McCartney early in the band's career through until the band's official dissolution in 1970. This influence has continued and many modern-day successful bands continue to cover songs from The Beatles originals catalogue, including many full albums having been created of covers of The Beatles, including film soundtracks, such as 2001's I Am Sam and 2007's Across the Universe and commemorative albums such as 1988's Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father and 2005's This Bird Has Flown.
Artists who have covered songs from the solo career of The Beatles' members John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are not included, and songs which The Beatles covered are also not included. Non-Beatles songs credited to Lennon–McCartney are also not included.
