My comment may not fit this topic for two reasons:

1) it's an old band, not from "today"

2) it has more of a "McCartney sound" than a "Beatles sound" perhaps.

Anyway, I've always thought that Reminiscing by Little River Band sounds very McCartneyish, and could have been either a McCartney tune or a Beatles tune written and sung by McCartney.

I hold the opinion something will break at some point in regards to where popular music is as it has to. I'll probably get slated for writing this but whilst there are bands out there doing great work in general the commercial scene sucks big time being filled with talentless hacks marketed by conglomerates only intent on making a quick buck.
The songwriting abysmal, the music dull to the point of wanting to jump into passing traffic just to feel something remotely alive.
Having read what music was like in the 3 or 4 years before the beatles exploded, and ...

Its why many folks are finding the Beatles in their teens and picking up at least some of their music. Somehow most of their output in the 60's hasnt aged.

What you say is very true, but unfortunately I have a darker view of things.

What we are witnessing today is a dark age of music...There might be no further innovations in music, at least as we know it.

The middle part of the 20th Century saw great advancement in European classical music, also in the music we now think of as jazz, and certainly in popular music, which would include rock & ...

What is a beatle sound? Are we talking about the innocent pop sound of tracks like From Me To You and She Loves You; the hypnotic sound of Tomorrow Never Knows and Rain; the all out sound of Helter Skelter; the off the scale weirdness of Revolution 9?

One of the things with the beatles is its very hard to put them in a bracket or lump them in with one particular genre. They tried everything and generally did it very well. Something most bands are unwilling to do. Plus everything the beatles did has been utilised by other artists. ...

I don't think any group has ever had a 'Beatle sound', as only the Beatles had this, and on every album they stretched the boundries of what their 'sound' was...The Beatles were the prototype for the modern rock group, and even what some call 'post rock' music'.

The music industry and certain critics sometimes try to us the 'Beatle-like' cliche, but they have no clue.

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.

There is a group called The Redwalls who are the closest thing I have heard to having a beatle sound. You can go to thier website and hear some of thier songs. The one that has sort of an early Beatle quality is Teach you about Rock n Roll. Are there any other ones out there. Sorry but I don't know how to post a link.
