• The BEATLES song plays first (shown here in blue).
• 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., 1967, 1968, 1972, 1978, 1995, 1996, etc.
• "A Day In The Life" is sequenced in 3 parts: initially with songs like John's ballad verses, then like Paul's bounding middle, and then back to paralleling John's finale.
• 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...

How Their Influence Never EndsSGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (1967)
• The SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND album
is the most important -and for most everyone the greatest- album in Rock history. Everything before it is simply prelude, all after aftermath.
• Often termed Psychedelic, it is a cornucopia of Baroque Pop, Acid Soul, Carnival, Music Hall, World, and Avant Electronics.
• Singularly, it left formula riff Rock behind and gave artists permission to be varied musicians pushing the envelope.
• It heralded the Concept Album and Art Rock.
• The radical graphic art covers, inner gatefold, printed lyrics, and cutout sheet created an interactive experience, evolving album packaging and listener engagement.
• From its music styles to its cover, it evokes a fantasy past to open up new possible futures.
• In tandem with the Summer Of Love, SGT. PEPPER was a coming out party for the counterculture, the most socially influential generation in modern history.
• The first Rock album to ever win the Album Of The Year Grammy.
Leads To:
▶ Pop Ballads, Baroque/Chamber Pop, Symphonic Rock, Sunshine Pop, World Music, Sitar/Raga Rock, Psychedelic, Funkadelic, Pop Psyche, Acid Rock, Art Rock, Musique Concrete, Message Anthem, Paisley Underground, Madchester, Neo-Psyche, Drone/Stoner, Indie Pop.
▶ Swinging London, Summer Of Love, Studio As Instrument, Concept Albums, Statement albums, interactive packaging, Rock as art form, College Radio/FM, The Counterculture.
Beyond time, place, or genre, musical artists have continuously made specific homages reflecting the 1967 sounds of The Beatles.
(All bold names are heard on the Music Player)
• British Evocation
Art Rock.
Provocation to ambition, as their rivals stepped into Statement albums, with fine and underrated music coming from The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, The Kinks, The Zombies, Small Faces, Billy Nicholls, Status Quo, The Spencer Davis Group, The Tremeloes, The Equals with Eddie Grant, and The Nice.
• Welcome Good Guys
The audience of peers took it home and to heart, like The Beach Boys, The Buckinghams, The Mamas And The Papas, Paul Revere And The Raiders, and The Turtles.
• Fixing A Soul
Soul gems proper via Sgt. Pepper were mined by Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson And The Miracles, Four Tops, Sly And The Family Stone, The 5th Dimension, Blood Sweat And Tears, Rotary Connection, The Foundations, Joe Cocker, The Five Stairsteps, Al Green, Eric Burdon + War, Syreeta, Maxayn, Prince, Beastie Boys, Fat Boys, Terence Trent D'Arby, P.M. Dawn, Raphael Saadiq, Imani Coppola, Alice Smith, Nicole Atkins, Adrian Younge, Mayer Hawthorne, and Anderson East.
From Jamaica with love, the Easy Star All-Stars remade the whole album in Reggae Dub style.
• Fuelin' The Hills
Artists rooted in Country and Folk music found new fields to forage, such as The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Terry Callier, Tim Buckley, The Band, Kathy McCord, Richie Havens, Margo Guryan, Gerry Rafferty, America, The Jayhawks, Jeffrey Gaines, and Ben Harper.
The stately keys of "A Day In The Life" forecast John and Paul's future piano anthems, and insured careers to stately tinklers like Billy Joel, Ed Harcourt, Eric Matthews, Father John Misty, and Weyes Blood.
Les Bises, Les Intrigantes, Les Miladys;
Tages.
• World Broadcast
The Beatles performed "All You Need Is Love" on the first worldwide telecast to over 400 Million people.
Globally, artists reflected that love right back on record, such as Ravi Shankar, Mina (Italy), Le Orme (Italy), Jacqueline Taieb (France), Les Merseys (Canada), Les Bises (Canada), Tages (Sweden), Locomotion (Netherlands), Czerwone Gitary (Poland), Hungária (Hungary), Prudy (Czech.), The Flame (South Africa), Sergio Mendes And Brasil '66, Liverpool (Brazil), Os Santos (Brazil), Los Iberos (Spain), Los Dug Dug's (Mexico), Nineteen 87 (Australia), and The Allusions (Australia).
• Lucid In The Sky
"look for the girl with the sun in her eyes..."
All-female bands continued onward through the transition from Beat to Baroque, with '60s explorers like The Daisy Chain, The Feminine Complex, Les Milady's (Canada), Les Ingénues (Canada), and Les Intrigantes (Canada) marching the trail for later artists like The Go-Go's and Mad Monster Party.
• We Are The Walrus
Nothing is sung that can't be restrung.
Finding their way to where they were meant to be were devout acolytes like The Redcoats, Bee Gees, Harry Nilsson, Badfinger, Bernard Chabert (France), Emitt Rhodes, Electric Light Orchestra, Cheap Trick, Klaatu, The Rutles, XTC, Squeeze, The Spongetones, The Rembrandts, Chris von Sneidern, The Grays, Oasis, The Boo Radleys, Sloan, Elliott Smith, Cotton Mather, Cloud Eleven, The Clientele, Lucky Bishops, Robbers On High Street, Pugwash, The Lovetones, The Draytones, The Cherry Bomb Peppers (Spain), and Aaron Lee Tasjan.
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR (1967)
• The MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR album
is actually an EP soundtrack, with separate singles paired into an LP for the US market.
• The improv TV film was initially a critical misfire that has proved an underrated Indie milestone, but the album collection succeeds as both a PEPPER postscript and a bellwether to the WHITE ALBUM.
• The gleeful delirium of the Psyche Pop undulates between John's woozy haze, George's sinister blear, and Paul's fanfared pep.
• Its dark richness and skewed melodics forecast every Indie record since 1980.
• Its crowning achievement is the astounding Psyche manifesto "I Am The Walrus", a song more multiform than most rivals' albums.
Leads To:
▶ Baroque/Chamber Pop, Sunshine Pop, ‘20s/’30s Revival, Sitar/Raga Rock, Psychedelic, Psychedelic Soul, Pop Psyche, College Rock, Experimental Rock, Power Pop, New Pop, Jangle Pop, Paisley Underground, Dream Pop, Madchester, Neo-Psyche, Drone/Stoner, Indie Pop.

• Your Parents Would Know
Interpoloating the score were mentors like Del Shannon, Fats Domino, The Ventures, Stanley Turrentine, and Wes Montgomery.
• Baby, You're A Rich Mind
It's only fair that it's a family affair. Making cameo appearances in the Playlist crowd are Julian Lennon, The GOASTT (The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger) with Sean Ono Lennon, and James McCartney.
• Pop Art
Shaking some Pepper into their Power Pop assault were Elvis Costello And The Attractions, The Koobas, The Raspberries, Big Star, Barnaby Bye, 10cc, Ronnie D'Addario, Utopia with Todd Rundgren, Heartbreak (Sweden), The Posies, The Times, Eleanor Rigby, Teenage Fanclub, Sleeper, Fountains Of Wayne, The Badge, Fastball, The Ravelers, and Chewy Marble.
• From The Motor Trade
Outside of the Chamber Pop chambers, Garage Rock artists still revved up some new torque, with reprisals from Public Nuisance, The Clash, The Damned, Die Toten Hosen (Germany), The Triffids (Australia), The Dirtbombs, and The Go, to Babyshambles, Cheap Time, The Black Hollies, The Midnight TV Programs (Japan), and The Limiñanas (France).
