None of those bands particularly sound like the BB.  The whole purpose of the BB soundalike exercise is to find enough songs to make a compilation.  Rarely do you find a CD with music that is entirely BB, save maybe Alan Boyd's.  Thats why I find the songs off those albums and record them to my compilation.  The Raspberries were not a BB type band.  Rather, Eric Carmen was a BB fan and had been influenced by them.  The best you can say about the Raspberries is that they did 3 songs that emulated the "spirit" of the BB sound - and those were Cruisin' Music, Drivin' Around, and Overnight Sensation, more so the first two than the last.

AWoPs, wow, I tried posting a similiar subject on another BB site, and there was zilch interest, except for one person - none, nada.  You think like me.  I used to think I was a BB purist, then came to the conclusion I love the sound, so I started searching high and low for any music that gave a nod to the BB and could care less if critics, both by calling and self-appointed, called them ripoffs.  If it pleased my ears, so be it, call it what you may.  The majority of people out there - and I have alot of friends and throw parties all the time - couldn't tell you the BB were made up of 3 brothers and a cousin, much less which ear Brian was deaf in.  The "experts" are in the minority so it doesn't bother me what they say.  I am a big country rock fan - The Eagles, Poco, Pure Prairie League - and I have discovered several lesser known bands that do what these guys do - and they do it well.  By the same token, I love Jimmy Buffett, and have found several songs by different artists that I have made compilations of that put me in the same spirit -  some gems by Jackson Browne, Kenny Chesney, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, fall into that "tropical" category.

Now to the meat.  Only one person here mentioned Alan Boyd, but since nobody has mentioned the following, I'll assume you may not be familiar with them.  I've included websites where these can be purchased.  Granted, not all the music on these CD's may emulate the BB sound, but a few do, and they are finds.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

One other note.  I tend to agree with the poster who has been disappointed by the mention of some other bands that were likened to the BB -The Thrills, for example.  My opinion on the the bands music in and of itself doesn't matter, but I don't think they're very BB-ish.  I have read many reviews and eagerly visisted websites to hear soundbites of recommended music, only to be disappointed.

Alan Boyd - Channel Surfing: http://www.boydproductiongroup.com/ (also amazon.com)
It's Only Roy -  http://www.itsonlyroy.com/, among others Gentle Soul is excellent
Vinyl Kings - Time Machine, www.cdbaby.com, 4 or 5 songs, including Sycamore Bay, which is the best one
The Malibooz (Walter Egan) - CDs: Beach Access and Living Water, www.malibooz.com (also cdbaby.com)
Northern Light - Both CD's, http://www.glacierdisc.com/; if you can get past a couple of the songs that are too "Up With People-ish", they have some very good songs. 
Henry Gross - Best Of , amazon.com; I think the songs What A Sound and Springtime Mama are better than Shannon
The Raspberries, besides Cruisin' Music, Drivin' Around and Eric Carmen's She Did It and That's Rock And Roll

I have some onesies, twosies things, too, so send me an e-mail and I can get you the info.
