Are there any who are truly that ignorant? Even if you didn't like them, their legacy is immense.
Yes there are. I know of one who claims Oasis were better.

As a Beatles tribute band (specialising in the sound of the latter years of Beatledom), Oasis were good, but not quite as good as the Bootleg Beatles.
Quite a few on here are.
I don't think Oasis sound like The Beatles. They probably sound more like Slade.

Bloody Hell! Now I've heard everything! Only common factor is two guitars, bass and drums.........so just the same as, well, nearly everybody really, apart from the few that have a keyboard, or manage with just one guitarist.

If you don't like the Beatles you do not understand pop music.
Will download this to watch on the impending trip to Manchester

Part of understanding pop music is to happily accept that middle aged men can have spent their lives reading and writing about it and will never have the understanding that a twelve year old girl feels instinctively.
A fan myself, influenced by my Dad in the 70’s.
This is one of many tracks that exemplifies Lennon’s unique, beautiful vocals

As did Beverly Knight when then BBC recreated the album and this is the best cover of this song I have heard by a country mile

He could have done a million takes and he would have still been copying the Isley Brothers:

Not even the 'Oooohs' were original.
As were Oasis.

I've only just realised that because it was covered by the Isley Bros it was shit. I bow to the real musical aficionados 
(I still think he gave it more than Ronald and i suspect Phil Medley and Bert Berns agree)
