U2's Fab Four Tribute Named Best Cover Song














U2 have topped a poll by American rock bible 'Rolling Stone' to find the best cover of a Beatles' song.

The magazine asked readers to vote after complaints about some disastrous covers of classic Lennon/McCartney songs over two weeks on the talent show America Idol.

The Dublin band's version of 'Helter Skelter' -- originally on The Fab Four's 'White Album' -- narrowly edged out Oasis's version of 'I Am The Walrus' for supremacy.

It also beat out some stiff competition from Joe Cocker, 'With A Little Help From My Friends' and Fiona Apple's 'Across The Universe'.

The song is the opening track on U2's live album 'Rattle & Hum', released in 1988.
