Probably an Oasis album.
There's a lot of hate for Oasis, I've noticed. Far more than they deserve. Mostly, I think, because the Gallaghers are cunts. I like how people keep going on about how they copied the Beatles. I'd be interested to see which particular songs they're talking about.

They do deserve it
they produced one album with some good sing-a-longable songs on it. And then remade the same album only the songs got dirgier and shitter every time.

Although let's not underestimate just how big a pair of cunts they were

Plenty of bands have done that.
I don't hate them for it.

Oasis also get extra stick for the following reasons;
1. They were all over every radio in the country for two or three years which just makes them all the more hateable
2. Liam Gallagher's voice is incredibly annoying
3. They were genuinely much worse at music than anyone else ever, including Steps
4. Both of them are fucking cunts

Neither
both copied the chord progression from Pachlebel's "Canon" , but then so have hundreds of other artists, hardly plagiarism.

They never copied the Beatles as far as I am aware
But they were always dreadful and propped up by a bizarre situation in the music press at the time where editors were afraid to call something wrongly. Cocaine was involved.

I've often wondered what would happen if someone at the NME or Radio 1
just stuck their head above the parapet and said "Hang on... this is SHITE!" about whatever hot new band they were currently bigging up for fear of looking uncool if they didn't. Badly Drawn Boy's entire career was substantiated by this fear.

The NME has often been a great offender for this sort of thing
But the Melody Maker, unsurprisingly not long before its demise, had an editor who refused to allow negative reviews of bands like Oasis.
I've even seen an honest review of Oasis' dire third album by the excellent Taylor Parks, having five stars put at the top by sub-editor, despite it being anything but a five star review.
