• The BEATLES song plays first (shown here in red).
• It is followed by Clones and Cousins, often bracketed at the beginning and end by Cover versions. Then the next Beatles song repeats the cycle.
• A Clone is a song directly imitating the song. A Cousin is within the same sonic spirit as the original.
• The Beatles' songs are in order of their release; the matching songs are listed sequentially in the order of their own release, i.e., 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1973, 1986, etc.
• Because The Beatles finished each year with a Christmas flexidisc for their UK Fan Club, each Music Player ends with Holiday songs done in their style.
The Playlist matches each of these songs to its children, in this order...
• "Paperback Writer/ Rain" (May 1966)
•• Song written for another artist: "Woman"
• REVOLVER (Aug 1966):
• "Taxman"
• "Eleanor Rigby"
• "I'm Only Sleeping"
• "Love You To"
• "Here, There, And Everywhere"
• "Yellow Submarine"
• "She Said She Said"
• "Good Day Sunshine"
• "And Your Bird Can Sing"
• "For No One"
• "Doctor Robert"
• "I Want To Tell You"
• "Got To Get You Into My Life"
• "Tomorrow Never Knows"
• Christmas flexi; banter plus "Good King Wenceslas", "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Ringo"
The Playlists will follow the original British release of singles and albums in sequence.
2) BEATLESQUE Songs:
How Their Influence Never EndsREVOLVER (1966)
• The REVOLVER album,
true to its name, is a revolution, fixing Abbey Road studios as the centrum of sonic advances.
• It is the album as Statement, songs for songs' sake, beyond touring or hits. This changes the industry into the artist's favor.
• It jaunts with Soul, like the James Brown in "Taxman" and the Stax and Motown in "Good Day Sunshine" and "Got To Get You Into My Life".
• Paul's ballads are poignant short stories, as beautiful as "Yesterday" yet more nuanced.
• John becomes the Psychedelic exemplar with his songs, hitting zenith with the epochal "Tomorrow Never Knows".
• George finds himself through India with "Love You To", and opens Western Pop music to World musics.
• Ringo steals the show with "Yellow Submarine", a kids sing-along become countercultural choral become global anthem.
• The singles "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" inaugurated Pyschedelic Rock as mainstream hits.
• REVOLVER established Pop music as a modern art form on par with Jazz, and just as vibrant with possibility.

Beyond time, place, or genre, musical artists have continuously made specific homages reflecting the 1966 sounds of The Beatles.
(All bold names are heard on the Music Player)
• British Evolution
The album is now an art form.
This had a transformative effect which liberated their home rivals to become themselves, producing great recordings and freer experimentation by The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Pretty Things, The Kinks, The Zombies, The Moody Blues, Herman's Hermits, The Tremeloes, Peter And Gordon, Chad And Jeremy, and The Twilights.
• Love you, too
Their American peers responded to peer pressure the best way with more great work by The Beach Boys, Paul Revere And The Raiders, The Mamas And The Papas, Cryan' Shames, The Turtles, The Doors, and The Rascals.
Sly And The Family Stone.
• Free Your Mind and Soul
There is a jubilant pulse of Soul on RUBBER SOUL and REVOLVER.
Radiating back good rays of sunshine were illuminated '60s Soul gods like Diana Ross And The Supremes, The Temptations, Chris Clark, Aretha Franklin, Roy Redmond, P.P. Arnold, Booker T And The MG's, Sly And The Family Stone, and The Foundations;
and vibing this groovy radiance across the years were Rare Earth, Earth Wind And Fire, Terea, Stanley Jordan, Lenny Kravitz, PM Dawn, Soulive, Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings, The Avalanches, and Avery*Sunshine.
• And Your Byrd Can Sing
Tin Pan Alley was speechless.
Bob Dylan and The Beatles ushered a wide spectrum of Folk Rock and upcoming Singer Songwriters, such as The Byrds, Gene Clark + The Gosdin Brothers, Bobbie Gentry, Richie Havens, Joni Mitchell, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, John Denver, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, Los Lobos, Rosanne Cash, 10,000 Maniacs, Jeffrey Gaines, Shack, Sam Phillips, The Smiles and Frowns, and Olden Yolk.
• Revolving Planet
The Beatles' sonic advances came from touring the world.
Now their global imitators were free to integrate their own roots sounds into their work, like Les Tallmud (Canada), Les Baronets (Canada), Les Aristos (Canada), Hljómar (Iceland), The Vanguards (Norway), The Fat And The Thin (Israel), Los Brincos (Spain), Los Iberos (Spain), Los Shakers (Uruguay), Los Mockers (Uruguay), Meire Pavão (Brazil), Los Macs (Chile), Almendra (Argentina), and Los Walkers (Argentina).
• She Said, You Listen
Never mind the bigots, here's the sex revolution.
Contrary to the flitwit version of Rock history, all-female bands inspired by The Beatles existed worldwide in the mid-'60s. Despite fools and blind historians and missing Spotify gaps, The Daisy Chain, The Feminine Complex, Honey Ltd, Las Chic's (Mexico), Plommons (Sweden), The Untouchable, and The Enchanted Forest beat four-to-the-floor on wax, in dancehalls, and across airwaves.
Their drumsticks righteously pounded the paths for modern acts like The Bangles, Thee Headcoatees, The Hot Toddies, Shonen Knife (Japan), The Kissaten (Japan), Dum Dum Girls, Habibi, and La Sera to explore.

Black Sabbath, Chicago, Aerosmith, Living Colour, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Collective Soul, and Jet.
In 1966, THE BEATLES turned Pop albums into musicians' statements.
And as their sounds expanded, so did all the responses across time...
