HELP!

[Tangerine_Monster]

My dad has banned me from the beatles for a week so that I will "expand my musical horizons." The thing is, I kind of listen to just the beatles (I've only recently discovered them, so I'm still in the wow-this-is-so-cool stage.) I would very much appreciate:
a) Sypathies
b) music to fill the void with.

P.S. I wasn't sure if this went in the off-topic subforum, so if it does, I apologize in advance.

There's an oldies station?  

[Sugar Pucks]

Try these on for size.

Cilla Black
The Fourmost
Billy J. Kramer And The Dakotas


The best thing is, each of those artists have recorded Lennon/McCartney compositions.

I'm so sorry... my sympathies, I can't imagine what I'd do if my parents cut me off from the Beatles, seeing as my iPod is about % Beatles songs, lol.

I don't really know any suggestions right now, though...
But you could try listening to Paul, John, Ringo, or George AFTER they left the band and went solo... technically it wouldn't be the Beatles, right? Hehe.

I've listened to The Beatles everyday for about four months and my mom finally snapped this afternoon, she said and I quote... "I'm not listening to The Beatles for another day in my life!"
I said "..." and just about died inside

You probably will like The Who, Doors, and prehaps Bob Dylan?  

[The_Great_White_Snark]

Try these:

David Bowie
Eurythmics
Talking Heads
Moody Blues
Led Zeppelin
Janis Joplin
Bob Dylan
Queen
The Eels
The Smashing Pumpkins


Just some of my personal preferences.

OMFG. Depending if you're in the vicinity of a big city, there should be at least one or two oldies stations. if that's not in the cards, then go here.

I think I would explode if I were banned from listening to the Beatles for an entire week.
Now I don't necessarily listen to them every day persay, but going an entire week without listening to the Beatles would kind of be torture.

Although I would probably just fill the void with solo stuff from the guys
