Good choice. For my part I'm ambivalent - I love the Joe Cocker version. What I despise is the musical snobbery behind those who would claim that Cocker's was the "authentic" version and the Beatles just pap. The original is a psychedelic pop classic imo. Eat shit hipsters
A career high for both individuals, solid gold pop genius with exactly the right amount of sending themselves up. That it was for charity is the cherry on the top. Criticism of it comes only from joyless dolts.
Aerosmith did a whole album of flaccid dross called Honkin' On Bobo. Presumably the honkin' was supposed to allude to the band blowing up some sort of storm -nope, the English use of honk meaning to smell bad is much more apt.
David Coverdale shamelessly mined his Deep Purple back catalogue for Whitesnake's Purple Album - the very height of pointlessness, even a retinue of excellent musicians and all the 21st century studio wizardry fails to mask DC's total loss of vocal prowess in a torrent of 'louder is better' pseudo metal bilge. I wonder if he covered his costs?
The less said about Status Quo's albums Don't Stop (No.2 on the album chart ffs!) and Famous In The Last Century, the better. Contractual obligation multiplied by cocaine drenched writer's block/apathy resulted in a double dip recession in the Mighty Quo's canon between 1996 and 2000. Don't do drugs kids!

Typical arrogance from the dog treat named lead singer of a single album best of band
Excruciating.
