There's also a version by Elvis Costello and Nick lowe that's sweet.

People will think this sacriligious, but Roddy Frame (from Aztec Camera ) does an acoustic version of the Beatle's In My Life that is, indeed, better than the original.
And In My Life is my most favourite song, so that's saying something!
