"Lies," The Knickerbockers (1966)

A Beatles soundalike with its own cool story

Peak: #20 on the Hot 100
Streams: 3.4 million

Plenty of bands get called “Beatles-esque,” but I have never heard a non-Beatles song that sounds more like the Beatles than “Lies”.

And I say that with respect: Making an effective copies requires real skill, and the guys in The Knickerbockers were absolute masters at channeling the masters.
