What are some songs that were better before The Beatles covered them?
Not trying to be a snide Beatles-hater here. Please don't get that impression.
Anyway, I think the original of "Ana (Go to Him)" by Arthur Alexander is better than the cover by The Beatles. There's not too much difference really, but the original is just a little more subtle, a little more soulful, a little more beautiful. It really accentuates the gospel undertones in the song, whereas The Beatles play it sort of straight R&B.

I think most of their early covers suck.

I for one to not like any of the covers they did way back when, I did not find that they did much to improve the sound of the artist they cover. As the Stones did with Not Fade Away. But they did go on to write some great music.
take care

complete agreement, add: roll over beethoven, please mr. postman, you really got a hold on me, money, kansas city, honey dont, everybody's trying to be my baby.... well, lets just say the strength of this band was the innovation and songwriting of their later material.
