    No option in this poll. You should have included The Rutles.

    Honestly, none of the above. Outside of "Lies" any Beatles pastiche any of those acts did was incidental.

    The Rolling Stones Let It Bleed UK Decca 1969 STEREO

    Another pristine one I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Boxed Decca, ~1W / ~4W mats, stereo/mono hole, poster included, correct blue inner with choir credits blacked out and sounding about as good as I've ever heard this. Guessing it's a pretty early press...maybe a 1970 or 1971. The only flaws I can see are the little spots on the label. Love In Vain at the moment...just killer...one of my favourite 'Stones tunes from one of my favourite 'Stones LPs ...

    Should have included Oasis, among some others.

    There are a couple of Wilco songs that sound a little Beatle inspired.

    I don't think Zappa (even on We're Only in it for the Money) ever really channeled the Beatles... he mocked them more.

    I think ELO certainly had some Beatlesesque moments.

    I am surprised that no one has mentioned the Beau Brummels. Their early sound was very Beatlesqe. Plus they were featured on the Flintstones!
