That's McCartney on lead and Harrison with that innovative bassline (it was '66). They switched for this classic track.
You can tell that Weller spent a lot of time listening to Revolver...Listen to the guitar on In the Crowd and Liza Radley is his version of Eleanor Rigby.
Yeah, I remember an NME interview with him for Sound Affects. He said they had Revolver on continuous loop on the tour bus the year before. It's Noel Gallagher's favourite album too. My favourite Beatles album after Rubber Soul. Nothing wrong with creative swiping - Lennon and McCartney admitted to it, and Harrison can't really complain after My Sweet Lord....
I love Weller and he has just as much Kinks, Small Faces and The Who in his work.
Revolver is my favourite btw.
They're all the same genre, imo. British idiosyncrasies and quirkiness mixed into the black American r&b of their youth. Best era of music ever.
Jamaican music has an immense tradition of covers, and Neil Diamond was a
favourite artist. Here are other good covers of the man :

At one point I though 5150 was the best album ever, my taste in music has got better/worse depending on your point of view.
She/they are very good. Watched their stuff in the past, he caught my attention with this one from 2015, crazy fooker...

Probably but I was young and thought it was amazing, can't even listen to it now.
Their first album (which You Really Got Me is on) was a belter. Proper daft parody rock.
The only one I bought on CD, although I'll still have first three or four on vinyl somewhere.

There's not many bands from that era that I still listen to, AC/DC probably the biggest exception I love their earlier stuff.
As in Bon Scott, or stuff with the mag?
If you say only stuff with Scott, we are really gonna fall out
