I think they all inspired people in their own way so why compare at all. They were all legends in their respective times.

Oasis shouldn't be on the list in that company. A 2nd rate Beatles/Lennon tribute band.

How is it true?
Beatle fans are like Man U fans, self observed and ignorant to any other contributions without making it about them lol |

Even so, it's hard to ignore the impact Elvis and The Beatles had on modern music. It's like asking whether the Model T or the Datsun Cherry was the most important car of all time. |

The Beatles are over-rated. But they influenced music so much more than anyone has or ever will.
Oasis are just horrid monotone drivvel. I agree with those who say that to mention them here is ludicrous. |

Oasis should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as the others. They don't even compare. Anyway, in terms of electrifying performances, Michael Jackson takes the crown.
Edit: Not that keen on Elvis' music, but quite like his films though. |

Doesn't it largely depend on your age ?
I'm of the Beatles generation so i think they're the tops By the time i was into pop music Elvis had already become like Matt Monro or Andy Williams.......middle of the road balladeer, too square ! I like Jacko and Oasis but wouldn't put them in the same bracket as the Fab Four |

They're all over-rated really. They're only musicians.

The Beatles kick started the popular music genre as we know it today so for me should be No;1. They were also creative not just performers. (I don't own a single Beatles record, not my sort of music)
Elvis was a radical performer in his day (post war austerity), he helped create a youth music following. However the one thing he lacked was musical creativity and his movies were dire. Michael Jackson would be my third choice, not so much for the music, but for his groundbreaking performances. Musically his stuff is OK but not exactly innovative. Oasis, well I'm not going there and neither should they as the Beatles and Lennon had done it all before. I don't quite follow why people need to equate appreciation of music with ones age. Those who do should try opening their minds and broaden their listening. There's some incredible stuff out there across all ages if you are prepared to look and listen with an open mind. |

The beatles - every song is just well written, perfect lyrics, great tunes generally and have a mass of brilliant brilliant hits and are consistently excellent. Enjoyed by every generation too.
Simon and Garfunkel/Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan moreso, was so vital to the developement of music, i just like them both. The smiths/Morrissey - Personally one of my favourites, so thought they should be mentioned. The kinks maybe with the beach boys, the byrds and james taylor following close behind. - Some other greats in the late 60s, so thought they should be mentioned too. Then a million miles below, elvis and MJ.- hate them both. Jackson is overrated, both personally and musically. |

I don't get the music snobbery. All of the artists mentioned in the OP heavily borrowed from musicians that had gone before them. Even the Beatles. Yeah, they brought together certain genres, but that didn't make them the first artists to pick up a guitar. They borrowed heavily from American Rock and roll, which borrowed heavily from blues and so on and so on. Oasis weren't meagre blots on the musical landscape, they along with the other britpop bands brought "indie" music into the mainstream. We're still seeing the effects of that in todays chart, they were very important in the 90's.

And have to say that the only ones on the list the teens that I've met through my children seem to still rate so highly is The Beatles. But all of them at some point are listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Beatles (those are the ones that seem to be universally admired). |
