Beatlesque
Beatlesque is a describing word for music that resembles the Beatles, usually tuneful guitar pop with close vocal harmonies.
It is a describing word more than a genre, and it is loosely defined. Marks that writers point to include close vocal harmonies, piano and cello parts in the style of the Beatles' later records, big endings and a band with more than one songwriter and singer. The term has been applied to acts from the 1960s onward and sits near power pop and pop rock.
Artists it is known for: Badfinger, Electric Light Orchestra, Oasis.
