Talk:List of songs covered by the Beatles

songs covered but never recorded edit

shouldn't we include songs they covered in their early days but which were never recorded, this would give newbees a good introduction to the tastes of the beatles at the time, for example in 61 they covered love me tender, sung by bass player stu sutcliffe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.196.243.124 (talk) 23:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Certainly I think it would make sense to add those released on Anthology and the BBC sessions CDs, which were official releases. There are numerous bootlegs and semi-official releases with covers, of course, notably the Decca Audition songs (Besame Mucho, Three Cool Cats, etc), which might be worth adding as a separate section.

Lots missing edit

Lennon recorded an entire album of cover songs and McCartney recorded two cover albums. Most of these songs are missing from the article. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 22:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Maggie Mae? edit

Shouldn't this trad, a snippet of which is on Let it be, be added to the list? Grutness...wha? 21:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Solo covers edit

I don't think this article should include songs covered by the respective solo artists. It should only list songs covered by the band as a whole. I imagine it makes more sense to list solo covers in subsections of List of songs recorded by John Lennon, List of songs recorded by Paul McCartney, List of songs recorded by George Harrison, and List of songs recorded by Ringo Starr.

From Argentina: Is more important, the compositors that the interpreters. Example: The "Chains" compositors was Goffin and Carole King.
