For me, the Beatles were always far more about HOW they sang and performed than WHAT they performed. Just as the Beach Boys had harmonies that no one could copy, so did the Beatles with their unique blend of vocals.

Some acts tried to copy their blend of vocals. The Chartbusters came close, and although they got some radio airplay, they came nowhere near to busting any charts.

They never copied the harmonies, but “No Matter What” by Badfinger sounded “Beatles-ish” and of course “Lies” by the Kinckerbockers had the Lennon sound down.
