Songs Which Sound Like The Beatles But Aren't By The Beatles...


... Yesterday I was stumped for several hours attempting to identify a Beatles song which started with the lyrics "My Aunty something" which I was sure had to be on the white album or Abbey Road but was in fact on neither nor anywhere else Beatles-wise.

In the end it turned out the song was Auntie Iris by Pilot. Next thing I know I was putting together a Beatles sound-a-like playlist on the old Spotify.

Anyway, I'm looking for some additional entries to the playlist, so please share with me any songs you've got which you've always thought sounded very Beatles like...

Who I’m coincidentally off to see next month.

Yeah, definitely a bit of the early Beatles sound there.

Seems like these guys are more Rutles like, i.e. straight Beatles tribute, than influenced by.

Definitely sounds like them though!

If you have time, take a listen to some of their other stuff, it’s almost a carbon copy 😳

Will do. Actually I came across something similar when looking up some of the suggestions here:-

I really like some of Todd Rundgren's stuff but had no idea this album even existed!

This is the best one (at least on my first quick listen though):-

Yes, Utopia is on the fringe of what I listen to on Spotify.
