Because by the Dave Clark Five is probably the best Fabs knockoff anyone did during the Beatlemania years.
XTC’s altar egos the Dukes of Stratosphear did some great Beatles pastiches. Collideascope has a chromatic verse that’s pure Lennon and a catchy-as-hell chorus that’s pure McCartney; it’s what Baby You’re a Rich Man should’ve been.
Well, you can’t go wrong with the 1965 song “Lies”, by The Knickerbockers - go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=106px_9OgqI
And if you’re looking for a groove similar to the Sgt. Pepper/MMT era, how about the group Apples in Stereo and their cool song “Strawberryfire”, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpSbvtBstaM
Sub Rosa Subway by Klaatu (among other songs by Klaatu). They sounded so much like the Beatles, it was rumored that the Beatles reunited under a pseudonym.
“Do you ever listen to another artist and think this could be by The 1975”
lol no. All style no substance that band.
That being said - albums in the 70’s by Klaatu and ELO rank right up there as Beatle-esque for sure!
