KLAATU: “Calling occupants of interplanetary craft”

[EvilCapitalist]

Love Oasis. “What’s the Story Morning Glory” is a fantastic album.

[Inyo-Mono]

A World Without Love by Peter and Gordon. It should, it was written by McCartney.

And "Woman" by Peter and Gordon, also written by McCartney.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Jeff Lynne help produce the Beatles anthology album back in 1995.

[Fiji Hill]

This product of the Motown diskery was quickly pulled off the market shortly after it was released. Wonder why?

Give Me a Kiss--The Hornets (1964)

[Fiji Hill]

Despite its name, this group didn't exactly bust the charts, although it got airplay in some markets. However, it sounds an awful lot like a group that did bust the charts.

She's the One--the Chartbusters (1964)

[janetjanet998]

Paul talking about Peter and Gordon and spontaneously playing some lines in 1969

I am in awe of McCartney spontaneous demos in the late 1960’s (step inside love, heather, come and get it)

The Beatles Woman (Paul McCartney Version) With Chat - Twickenham Sessions

[SaveFerris]

🔝🔝

[Fiji Hill]

The Beau Brummels probably chose their name to capitalize on the British Invasion (Beau Brummel was a nineteenth-century English hustler). And in record stores where records were placed alphabetically by performer, their records would be stacked next to those of the Beatles and Beach Boys.

My favorite from The Dukes...

Mister Kingdom is the ELO song that most resembles The Beatles.

It’s Magic — Pilot Backup harmonies sound like early Beatles

Several members of Pilot, became the core of The Alan Parsons Project.

The Beau Brummels - “Laugh, Laugh”

That song, and their other songs, were produced by Sly Stone, of Sly & The Family Stone.

Also, Beau Brummell was mentioned by Billy Joel in his song, It's still Rock and Roll to Me.

[nickcarraway]

They are from Australia, and it’s from a highway exit sign there. Were you on Hwy 1?

[Dr.Deth]

That's because Lennon said he wished he'd wrote that song. He would play it over and over again driving around in his custom psychedelic painted Rolls Royce.

The Monkees tended to sound a lot like the Beatles because that's what Kirshner wanted. They had the best of the best writing pop nuggets for them, but the OG's behind the Monkees were Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. They more or less came up with the idea of that show, with the thought they'd be the stars. They were still part of it as songwriters and performers... but it didn't work out as intended.

Kinda thought this one from Paul Revere and the Raiders nick a bit of that Doctor Robert vibe.

See post #2.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

101. Headed south today from Gold Beach, OR. Stopped at my favorite Benbow Inn in Garberville for the night.
