Of course The Hollies, Look Through Any Window. But Delaney & Bonnie (friends of George who inspired him to write My Sweet Lord ) had a song called Never Ending Song of Love (from Motel Shot album) which I swore was a Paul number a la I’ve Just Seen A Face . Look it up. See if you agree.
Bus Stop by the Hollies also sorta reminds me of Things We Said Today .

There’s lots of places this could have gone, and I couldn’t decide which, and so I’m putting here…
The lead single from the Wu Tang Clan’s 2007 album 8 Diagrams, based around a sample of blues guitarist Jimmy Ponder covering George, George gets co-authorship. Extra twist, the track is fully credited to Wu Tang Clan featuring Erykah Badu, Dhani Harrison and John Frusciante. Dhani plays rhythm on a 1961 Gretsch:

This Bread song is very Let It Be -ish sounding, it could fit onto that album easily, I think.

Offline “Lies” – The Knickerbockers
“Live” – The Merry Go Round
“Exit Stage Right” – Ronnie Burns
“Baby’s Rich” – The Gods (They also did a killer version of “Hey Bulldog “)
The Golden Earrings – Much of their early output, especially “Daddy, Buy Me a Girl”
“Brand New Day” – Stray (obscure B-side from an obscure band but it nails the McCartney ballad sound)
“No Matter What” – Badfinger
“Hope” – Klaatu
The DEFACE THE MUSIC album from Utopia, although Rundgren’s nasal vocals somewhat tend to spoil the effect

Offline Here’s something obscure which 70’s kids will recall. It’s actually the single of Roger Glover’s (Deep Purple bassist) first solo album The Butterfly Ball And The Grasshopper’s Feast in 1974 and the single went a bit viral in 70’s terms.
Psychedelia just wouldn’t go away, you see.

Offline Whenever I listen to ‘Ashes to Ashes’ by David Bowie, I somehow have to think of ‘Wild Honey Pie ‘ because the sound of the distorted guitar at the beginning of each song sounds quite similar to me. Am I only making it up or is someone of you hearing a resemblance too?
Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's

Offline The very best Beatles-ish album that I’ve heard is by Todd Rundgren and Utopia, called Deface the Music (1980). Almost all songs have the Beatles’ sound. Also check out the B-side of Todd Rundgren’s Faithful album (1976) for a rendition of Strawberry Fields and other groups’ hit songs. As well, if you like identifying heavy guitar-band sounds, listen to Todd Rundgren’s Arena (2008). It’s amazing. All on Spotify.

I found an Emitt Rhodes anthology just last year, a 2CD set featuring all four of his solo albums! I remember posting something to the effect that “he even outdid Paul himself, as far as 1970 play-everything-yourself pop-rock albums go”, but in retrospect I’ve come to appreciate McCartney more than previously – Emitt’s record is less eccentric, he’s not trying to create odd instrumentals or sound experiments. His later albums sound even less Macca-like.
Ben Ramon said
I’ve not heard any of his later stuff, just the self-titled – are the other albums any good?
Wish Ben Ramon was still around so I could answer him finally, 4 years late. 🙁 Anyway, Mirror from 1971 is more of the same – tidy, melodic pop-rock in the cherries album/Ram tradition, but with more sincerity in place of Paul’s whimsy and occasional experimental ism. Also, the addition of a Leslie effect to some of the guitar tracks adds a bit of subliminal second-hand George Ness to the proceedings. And it rocks a bit harder in places.
I wish I could share a bit of this guy’s vintage music but none of it appears to be on YouTube. (I imagine Necko’s heard him, wonder who else? Martha? Evangeline? TRC?)

Offline Hi all,
I sort of skimmed the thread and thought I’d put some stuff I didn’t see. Sorry if some songs already were mentioned.
Hollow Hand – “Farewell“
Chris Weisman – “Double Bill“. This guy actually put out an album called Beatleboro (he’s from Brattleboro, VT). Guitar starts out the same as “Here, There And Everywhere “.
Elliott Smith – “Say Yes“. Speaking of “Here, There And Everywhere “, Elliott Smith has been mentioned but I’m not sure this song has.
LCD Soundsystem – “Never As Tired As When I’m Waking Up“. Surprised I didn’t see this one on my quick scroll-through of the forum. I hear “Dear Prudence ” but once the guitar outro comes in, the Beatles sound becomes very obvious. (Actually when I found a youtube link, I noticed that I was not alone in noticing that it’s basically “Dear Prudence “.
Calvin Love – “Warm Blindness and a Cool Breeze“. Sounds like it could have been on All Things Must Pass .
Dr. Dog – “Goner“. This band seems to emulate a lot of classic rock-esque sounds. I get some Bowie in this song as well.
Tony Molina – “No One Told He“

A band called Tame Impala definitely take influence from the Revolver era of The Beatles. Check out a guy called Brendan Benson, he has the beatle-esque songwriting thing going on, very cool. Here’s a song by him.
Just seen this post. Crazy to see how big they’ve gotten now.
Idk if they’ve already been mentioned, but Panic! At The Disco’s Pretty Odd and Neutral Milk Hotel’s In The Aeroplane Over The Sea are both very Beatlish.
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

I have always thought The Seeker by the Who sounds very beatlesish. I can imagine the boys singing that one
