Most imitated band/artist

I don't mean most influential, I mean like directly ripped off. I think Radiohead has a pretty good claim right now.

I'd say the Beatles, and ripped off through their various eras to.

We've already had the Monkees ripping off their pre-Rubber Soul stuff/images ripped off, but bands like ELO ripping off Sgt Peppers.

Also Kraftwerk by the entire Hip-Hop phenomenon.

I thought when it came to imitators that Elvis would reign supreme!

Following Elvis, I am pretty certain, it is Abba, and third I would put the Beatles.

How could it not be Elvis?

There's a whole industry built around Elvis impersonators!

I wasn't considering guys like "Big Elvis" who sings Mon-Thurs from 1-5 at the Barbary Coast.
