i think nina sinone topped the beatles with here comes the sun :

the gospel piano on the fadeout is something the beatles could never do

Never heard that before. Wasn't all that taken with her vocal on it tbh, but I always find it interesting to hear another interpretation.

Here's one of my very favorites. First done by Nine Inch Nails.

I'm not sure which version is the most depressing. I think I'll have to go and find something more cheerful now before I hurt myself.

It's interesting how the age difference of the performers gives the lyric a different perspective though.

Okay. I added one favorite already, but I actually have two favorites. Here's a Simon & Garfunkel hit redux. Of course I think both are great:

I'm not entirely convinced that it hasn't had some post recording work done though.

I'd say it has too, or at least it's been comped from several takes because it seems to go from daylight to dusk very quickly. Cool cover though.
