What bands are inspired by The Beatles?

Answer 1

The Knack, Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Prince. Plus, most of the bands from England who wore matching suits, Paul Revere and the Raiders.

Well, there's Oasis and Panic at the disco. . . there's too many and i can't remember em all

Answer 2

"Different schools of 'Son of Beatles' exist continually." - John Lennon, 1980

Electric Light Orchestra, Klaatu, The Bangles, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Wings, and (God help me)... Oasis, among many others. (I do not consider Oasis a "good band". I consider them a shameless ripoff.)

Well, if you like good music, which if you like the Beatles you have a 50% chance that you do, then you'll probably like other good music as well, such as The Rolling Stones, Yes, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Aerosmith, and amazing artists such as that.

Oasis...? The Bangles...? Really?

Answer 3

There were The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Who, The Animals, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fleetwood Mac, The Mamas and the Papas, Cream, Pink Floyd, The Bee Gees, The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, and The Monkees. I could go on, but those are the main ones.

Answer 4

Every band that plays music. The Beatles are the frame of every genre of music that came after. Without the Beatles there just simply nothing.

-----------------------------------

the guy who wrote the stuff above knows NOTHING.

There was plenty of music before The Beatles, music did after all come from Africa. However through the civil war there was an integration of black and white music (there were signs of this happening before hand) Like in church, black people sang spiritual ( European church songs such as Swing low, sweet chariot were sung by black people, of course they adapted it to their style *blues scale*) but the also sang gospel which was Negro songs sang by black people. THIS is what 'framed' every genre.so YES there would have been music is the Beatles weren't around.

ANYWAY now that this nitwit has been proved wrong, here is a *safe* link to a website that shows you all the people who were influenced.

Pretty Cool.

Answer 6

I would say it's safe to say nearly everyone. If a band you listen to didn't directly listen to the Beatles, they were inspired by someone who did listen to the Beatles.

Some bands that were influenced by the Beatles were Oasis, Julian Lennon (John Lennon's son), ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), Bad Finger, and etc.

Answer 8

Nowadays One Direction are commonly compared to the Beatles
