There exists a quartet from a city where the Mersey flows, who crafted timeless melodies that echoed across the universe. Their journey began in the cavernous depths, where they honed their craft and captured the hearts of millions. With a little help from their friends, they painted a technicolor dream of yellow submarines and strawberry fields.
They whispered words of wisdom, letting it be known that all you need is love. Their music took us on a magical mystery tour, through penny lanes and long and winding roads. In the sky with diamonds, they created a psychedelic symphony that transported listeners to a world of imagination. They sang of a day in the life, weaving tales of yesterday and tomorrow, while revolutionizing the sound of modern music.
Their legacy is a kaleidoscope of sounds and stories, from the melancholy of Eleanor Rigby to the jubilant notes of Sgt. Pepper's band. They asked us to come together and to imagine a world without boundaries. Each song a chapter in a book of countless hits, they changed the face of popular music forever.
Can you decipher the enigma of their lyrics and melodies and uncover the identity of this iconic band?
Till next time, Keep Rocking
Much love from Sunny Cape Town, @Mimismartypants

These songs are woven into the narrative, painting a picture of The Beatles' legendary impact on music and culture.
It seems there is an extra hint with "Imagine," a song by John Lennon post-Beatles. This makes it 17 references if you count this too. Thus, the passage does indeed reference 17 distinct songs.
