Quite some time ago, Sam and Brock had a conversation on Saturday Night Live about songs that sound like the Beatles. As a lifelong Beatles fan, it got me thinking about my own favorite Beatlesque tracks. Brock made mention wondering about how many songs sound like the Beatles. At that time I decided to do a Top 50 of my favorites, and I have now finished my Top 50 list. I decided to try something new instead of simply posting the chart on the blog.
I am guessing most of these songs have probably never been heard by FOX listeners, but they all have a distinctly Beatlesque feel — so I’m guessing they’ll go over well to Beatles as well as Fox Oldies fans. Here’s the breakdown of their chart history:
17 songs — never released as singles
21 songs — never charted in the U.S.
4 songs — didn’t make the Top 40
8 songs — reached the Top 40 (only six on Billboard)
Starting this coming Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning — and continuing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning— I’ll post a link to one song from the Top 50 (counting down from #50 to #1) along with a write‑up about why it’s Beatles‑influenced. At the end of each week I will also post of poll so you can vote for which song you like better. Hopefully listeners will discover some new favorites.
Sam has done “Countdowns within the Countdown,” so consider this a Countdown within the blog.
Hope you enjoy it.
