I want some more bands with that classic Beatlesque sound, it doesn’t have to be total Beatles ripoff zone, it should be original, but just with that classic pop sound that the Beatles innovated.
No Oasis.
I’m thinking more along the lines of Electric Light Orchestra, but it can get as far as stuff like Elton John even, you get the idea… classic melodic pop music… it can be from any era, try and name a decent amount of bands. Links are appreciated, thanks.
BQ: Favorite Beatlesque song not by the Beatles.
BQ2: What do you like to do for fun? ![]()
Dammit, don’t be so obvious… I don’t just want a bunch of classic rock that everyone has heard.
No Panic! At the Disco stuff either.

Have to go with Klattu, ELO, Badfinger of course, The Raspberries, The Smithereens, and possibly XTC….and the Knickerbockers "LIES" actually sound like the Beatles!
Oh, and how about The Monkees!

well i don’t think that panic! at the disco "pretty, odd" album sounds like the beatles, but maybe it would sound for you, so give it a hear!!
The Digbees
The Rutles
There was a band in the late ’60′s called "The Move". They sort of got lost in the British Wave of bands then. They did some very good songs ( ‘Brontosaurus, ‘Cherry Blossom Clinic’ come to mind) and do sound a bit like the beatles. Some of the members went on to become ELO.
Badfinger, ELO, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin. All influenced by The Beatles, all with a bit of Beatles sound
BA: It’s Alright by Black Sabbath
BA2: Shoot things full of holes
