“Enjoyed the Beatle soundalike and/or inspired by episode however I think you missed a few significant ones. They are:
Stackridge- The Man in the Bowler Hat or as it was titled in the States, Pinafore Days. Though not outright imitating them, the writing, singing and production could have been Abbey Road Pt 2(from 70s)
Utopia-Deface the Music. Todd Rundgrens homage to the boys(1980)
Raspberries. This band was heavily influenced by the early Beatles, McCartney in particular.
Emitt Rhodes(his 2nd album). Entirely written, played and I believe produced by him. Very early solo McCartneyesque. I recall Rolling Stone calling it at the time the solo album Paul should have made.
Billy Joel. The Nylon Curtain. The only Joel album I’ve ever really enjoyed. Lennon influence is all over it.
Anyhow, agree or disagree, this old Beatle fan really enjoys your podcast. Keep up the good work. Stay healthy, Lew Karp”
