@TheSquishyTanker Whitebread, Don't debate when Ringo Starr wasn't even taken seriously in the band. Wasn't Pete Best the first choice, but he didn't want to be in a "boy band" and want to be himself, which the Beatles became anyway, themselves. U2's version is better to me, Stop acting like there were no music before or after the Beatles. Yeah they wrote their own music but Bob Dylan was better, didn't Dylan tell the Beatles to stop writing pop songs?

...you're kidding, right? Lucy in the Sky was BASED of a picture, his son didn't write it for them. And, you've obviously never listened to Helter Skelter, Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End or tons of others to say something as ridiculous as "The Beatles are whitebread".

@TheSquishyTanker I did and the Beatles music is so basic it's frustrating to listen. They give credit for writing their own songs but "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was just a picture John's son drew. The Beatles are whitebread, no soul like Led Zep, The Stones, or U2

This is the most stupid thing I've heard all week, and it's been a long week.
Read into things. Their lyrics make a lot of sense.
Either way, this cover is horrid and should burn.
-
It's a cover, not the real song, so nothing's happened to the original song, so go listen to that song if you hate this one so much.

@Hallucination well said!
-
I guess it just me, but the U2 version of this song is better, never been much of a Beatles fan. They wrote their own songs but what did their songs mean? They were doped up(I'm not judging) and they were just putting words together.

@revnmalak oh the original is ruined now? You can't find it anymore? That's a shame. Its' a cover, not ment to eb a carbon copy.. If this was NIN people would be "whoa very interesting" but it's U2 so people bag on it. Oh and a little FYI original isn't ruined. You can still listen to it any time you want and it will be as good as ever despite your feelings on U2's version here.

i love u2, but i prefer the beatles version

@dashasohn I love U2, but I also love the Beatles. They had plenty of record breaking tours, and that was back in the 60's. They were as revolutionary for their time as U2 are today. U2 love the Beatles, just look at all their covers. There's this, they covered Instant Karma once, and Bono often sings Blackbird at the end of 'Beautiful Day'. Without the Beatles, U2 probably wouldn't sound like they do, if they were around at all.



Leave it to U2 to wreck a great song.
