I chose The Beatles. In their short tenure they had Bubblegum pop, rock, folk, psychedelia, and even attempted some other generes in various songs.

So often when im listening to other music not even related to rock do i hear The Beatles.

All i have heard from Badfinger sounds like a bad attempt at Beatles 2.0.

I've heard the Beatles in Nirvana (about a girl), Chemical Brothers (Private Psychedelic Reel), MGMT(Weekend Wars), Oasis (Don't look Back), Klaxons (Golden Skans), The Verve (Bittersweet Symphony).

Those are just a few examples and there influence is far reaching to other bands on this list and heavily throughout the 70's and 80's
