I think the Beatles influence might be overstated but the Beatles did influence Dylan and the Byrds to go electric. The Beatles did start the British Invasion that included the The Kinks, The Who and the Stones. The one thing that separates the Beatles with VU or Bob Dylan is that the Beatles influenced Nirvana, King Crimson, Ozzy Osbourne and then they can influence the Monkees and the Jonas Brothers. The Beatles influence is across the board. Britpop and the Alternative rock scene of the 90's was more influenced by the Beatles than Dylan or The Velvet Underground.
