Each album marks a huge changeup in style and direction, but that doesnt mean they even remotely resemble the beatles either sonically or stylistically. Musical growth did not start with the beatles. As far as style and sound go, Oasis was definitely influenced by the beatles. I wouldn't call an influence a blatant rip off. Elliott smith (who is also one of my favorites) would be easier to accuse of ripping off the beatles.
