Crowded Ringo.

Here's a topic I'd like to open to the floor.

You've mentioned a couple of times (and most recently in a Crapberries comment below) that Crowded House has always been a Beatles imposter band for you, and that you don't mind that at all. Problem is I've tried, and I simply can't hear it.

Help a brother out. What songs are you thinking about? What sounds/instruments/harmonies are making that connection for you? There's no question that the singing style is sometimes reminiscent of some McCartney songs, but aside from that (and I had to really concentrate to make that association), I hear nothing.

[By the way, I should add that Crowded House's eponymous album came and went splendidly. I really enjoyed digging into some of the album tracks that I'm not familiar with. Was it Hole In The River with that delightful "circus" like riff - 'd make a fine Cherry Blossom sample, I tell you.]
