Were Oasis actually similar to The Beatles?

I'd say "yes" to RJDG14. On my first hearing of that Morning Glory album, I repeatedly thought, "Hey, they got that bit from the Beatles." At first I thought it was just uncredited stealing, but then decided that it was intentional jokey post-modern referencing instead. Don't they reference Beatles songs in their lyrics? and copy the Beatles trademark rhythm cello too?

AFAIK, the only band who sound more like The Beatles than Oasis are The Rutles:-
