I don't go around remembering all bands that are not just influenced by the Beatles, but actually also say so to the media, so I had to do a search. Here are some of the more known bands / artists that came up.
- Oasis
- Panic at the Disco
- Ozzy Osbourne (black sabbath)
- Richard Ashcroft (from the Verve)
- Dave Matthews (from Dave Matthews Band)
- Billy Joel
- Tommy James and the Shondells
- Jonas Brothers
- Stone Sour
- Cheap Trick
- Andy Burrows (from Razorlight)
- Roger McGuinn (from The Byrds)
- The Ghetto Brothers
Note this is more than you asked for .. I also found many more, but not as big names. I'm sure more biggies would have come up if I'd spent a little more time, though.
Listing the bands influenced by the Beatles would obviously be a practically impossible.
