Hello Sherdog music lovers!
Can You recommend me some Beatlesque bands, artists and songs?

Whether it sounds like the rocking early Beatles, the stoner middle Beatles, the acid tripping late Beatles or even just vaguely Beatlesy - I'd love to check it out.

Here's a list of stuff I've heard so far and what I think of it in no particular order:

• Wings - great
• The Traveling Wilburys - good
  
• Cream - great
• The Doors - great

I've always thought this song by Jet sounded like a Beatles song.

First 2 Tame Impala LPs and Unknown Mortal Orchestra have loads of Lennon vibes floating around - speaking of bands from the last decade.

Some tunes that come to my mind

All great tunes, thanks!

Harry Nilsson


IMO he’s the most Beatles-esque.

He was also John's friend so there might have been some influence on his style.

 

[Smoochie Wallace]

Flamin' Groovies

 

[PurpleStorm]

Great tunes in this thread. Many I hadn't heard. Thanks all.

Hey @Hotora86 have you had a chance to listen? If so, interested in what you especially like.

Edit: Just noticed you're keeping a running list in your original post. Cool.

Just listen to Pebbles, Back From The Grave, Nuggets etc compilation albums, more 60's U.S Garage than 60's British Invasion but it's in the same vain just more lo-fi and drunk.

Roxy Music
The Kinks
10CC

The Kinks were what popped into my head the second I saw the thread.

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

Stone Temple Pilots seems to have the most Beatles-inspired sound compared to other 90's rock bands.

How about a Beatles cover with some legends

The moody blues - in search of the lost chord...

It has beatle-esque moments and is an incredible album. Really underrated gem!

 

[lakersfan45]
