Woodface
This Crowded House album seemed more Beatlesque than any of their others and was commercially their most successful. Coincidence?
Spin My Wheels
Cotton Mather
I know what you mean
Something About The Beatles
by a band often referred to as the West Country Beatles = Stackridge (Korgis). Guitarist Andy Davis did play on the Imagine LP too...
bargepole rather
obviously mentions the entire canon of jeff lynne's post 'move' works, and asks 'ELO',is it time for a frank and indeed favourable reassessment of their output?
not
in my book
OK - Telephone Line I'll give you that one.
Actually, on second thoughts scrub that too
Squeeze
Is that Love?
Do the Rutles count?
If not, here is a vote for a rather charming Swedish one hit wonder (no girls though, sorry):
The singer was later on Stars In Their Eyes doing Ray Davies.
Titles
The lyrics of 'Titles' by Barclay James Harvest off the 'Time Honoured Ghosts' album is made up from Beatles song titles. Check it out.
Check It Out
On Spotify http://open.spotify.com/track/5IpAFS6M1sEWUWVLe6Wzwt
Thanks!
I must find out how to do that...
There is none finer...
..or more blatant..
Andy Partridge "My Train Is Coming"
From Fuzzy Warbles vol 3
XTC's Skylarking includes
my favourite beatlesesque songs...
the three songs around the theme of marriage and relationships done in the style of each individual "songwrting" Beatle.
Earn enough for us = McCartney
Big Day = Harrison
Another Satellit = Lennon.
makes me smile every time.
well done XTC!
Anyone remember this classic from yesteryear?
Bourgeois Tagg - I Don't Mind At All
It was from 1988 & produced by Todd R. Utopia made an entire album called Deface The Music aping all the various Beatle music types. I can only find this example on Spotify...
Utopia – I Just Want To Touch You - LP Version: http://open.spotify.com/track/1ptCnuasRser9KmZqSIAeo
Utopia - I Just Want...
And here it is for those without Spotify:
Now See the Tagg
I've only just noticed that the Bourgeois Tagg video won't embed. Here's a tv performance.
A couple mentioned on other recent threads...
Tears for Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love
George Michael - Praying for Time
Both 'tunes', as I believe is the common parlance.
I was looking for this ...
Crowded House at their most Beatle-esque
But I also found this ... I hope that wherever she is she got some help (or an Arts Council Grant)
Mr Costello's most blatant Beatles moment
With apologies for the dodgy video.
The Apples In Stereo...
...Strawberryfire.
Some more...
Track 4 in particular on this one...
And a couple that I couldn't find links for...
The Lovetones - This Is Why You Love Me
Julian Lennon - Saltwater (Cheeky!)
Rain Parade
Whilst I'd agree it's a great song, I don't see the Beatles in it, apart from a little bit of Strawberry Fields perhaps.
A bit like this, maybe?
Oh yes
That's pretty good. I predict great things for them.
Most of them from Spotify

Nice ride!
More solo McCartney than Beatles, but...
It's still a great song.
Ride
Their early stuff sounded like Shoegaze Beatles, like My Beatles Valentine
Pink Floyd - The Scarecrow, sounds kind of like a lost '67 Lennon/McCartney song
