What is Beatlesque?

a term used by critics to describe music that has one or more traits or characteristics of the music made by the Beatles. Since the Fab 4 are one of the most inspirational rock bands of all time, many people have used the term to describe almost anything.

Cheap Trick has often been described as a Beatlesque hard rock band. They rock.
Oasis on the other hand, are a bunch of Beatles clones wanna-bes. They suck.

What does "Beatlesque" mean?

Term given to music that sounds Beatle-ish...

The perfect example is the 1965 song by the beach boys "Girl Don't Tell me". Really. Lovely song by Brian Wilson, sang by his brother Carl.

The arrangement is really beatlesque :D
Cheers ;)
