Fantastic song, believe it or not, Phish does a cover of this song that rivals the Beatles original performance IMO.

Speaking of covers, I actually prefer "The Bad Plus" version of Comfortably Numb to the original but that is simply because I've heard the Floyd version enough for this lifetime. It spoke to me at 14 but is not really the same at 44.

To the original question, no I can't think of a better Beatles song either. I'm not much of a Beatles type guy though.

She said, I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it means to be sad
And she's making me feel like
I've never been born

Closest match title wise would be “I Feel Fine”, but besides some great songs already mentioned, I’ll throw Something (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDTi_La94Uo) into the mix. The B-Side was not half bad either, Come Together (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJqNxKdgyqM).
