The good thing I always think about The Beatles is that many artists who have covered their songs have often done an amazing job in my opinion and put emotion into the songs which the original ones hugely lacked. Their songs are great but in my opinion their execution was often piss poor and hugely overrated. Compare the stuff they were doing when you had artists such as Janis Joplin around and it really beggars belief to me.
Some covers I like:
Joe Cocker - "With a little help from my friends"
Tina Turner & Roxette - "Help"
Aerosmith - "Come Together"
The Temptations - "Hey Jude"
En Vogue - "Yesterday"
....Meat Loaf - "Let it Be" & "Come Together"
