well for one, the rolling stones were very influenced by the beatles. the beatles wrote one of their first hits "i wanna be your man" and although they were known for their harder r&b sound, the beatles mined that field in their hamburg days.
and most obviously; their satanic majestries request=sargent peppers
franz zappa was doing a parody of the beatles with we're only in it for the money but he obviously had great respect for them musically
it could be argued that bob dylan's switch to electric guitars was influenced by the beatles and byrds (just like you could argue that he influenced the beatles more sophisticated lyrics)
jimi hendrix was known to cover day tripper and sargent peppers live
like someone said the kinks (although suchfriends, you said the kinks took after the who when its the opposite way around, townsend admits as much)
the lovin' spoonful-although the beatles were influenced by them as well
donovan-again donovan also influenced them by teaching them a picking style in india that yielded many songs\
buffalo springfield
the list could go on. even bands that don't sound like the beatles were very much influenced by them. you can say the same thing about sonic youth.
