I'm in a Beatles mood these days and I was wondering what were the best reggae cover of Beatles' song ?

My favourites are "The long and winding road" covered by Dennis Brown, "Here comes the sun" by Peter Tosh, and "And I love her" by Bob Marley.

many "And I Love Her"'s

Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band is pretty much all awesome, but this is my favorite track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx7Akt3Sd58

"Woke up, got out of bed, ran my fingers through my dreads..." Love it!!

@ Ron: haha, that the monkees..

my top 3:
clarendonians - you wont see me (Coxsone)
paragons - blackbird singing in the ghetto (Duke Reid)
and not a genuine cover, but based on norwegian wood:
Darker Shade of Black (Coxsone)

Yes, that's a truly great album. As is The Pink Floyd tribute !

Ah ok. Well, i never really digged those Beatles in the first place. That's why I probably didn't know.

i heard in the reggae tribute to the beatles. there is an instrumental version of "Hey Jude" that blew my mind by Joe Allstars, simply amazing.

Killer!
