This morning, a headline on CNN read, “Beatles come to iTunes.” Innocuous enough, yes, but, gosh, where the hell else are you going to buy music from (arguably) the world’s biggest band? At Best Buy? Apple’s official announcement (the above pic is from their homepage) did, however, make the staff over here at DC9 at Night nostalgic.
We spent a good chunk of the morning talking about how we got into the Beatles, and the songs that homage their albums and music. Thusly, we present an epic list of diverse proportions: Ten songs that love the Beatles enough to reference them directly. We hope this will encourage you to post some of your own in the comments, or discuss them with your friends.
Make the jump for the full list.
1. Elliot Smith – “Baby Britain”

Years after his death, Smith’s lyrics “The light was on but it was dim / Revolver‘s been turned over / And now it’s ready once again” are still as moving as they were on first listen — and dammit if we don’t want to toss “Taxman” on the player in celebration.
