Yes there is a difference between inspiring and influencing. However I don't think someone can inspire you to make music without influencing the finished article. And note I also said that a lot of the guitar based music would have been influenced by them.
Anyway, first result (yes its wikipedia, but its all referenced) on a google search shows The Coral, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian have all stated that Oasis have influenced their music.
As for knowing several young musicians who listen to 60's and 70's music, well I'm sure that there are very many who do and are influenced by it, but there will be an equal amount who are inspired and influenced by those eras along with 80's and 90's music. I'm not trying to say that "older" music isn't equally or more influential than more recent efforts, just that I personally couldn't rule out the importance of the biggest bands of any era, and Oasis certainly were one of those, in influencing future generations of musicians. Just because they're not everyone's cup of tea doesn't mean they aren't influential.
Sorry I have always written sentences that are far too long and rambling. Must use more full stops.
