This isn’t the first time the singer-songwriter has criticized the Rock Hall.
When Oasis was first nominated last year, Gallagher dismissed the institution, questioning the types of artists included on the ballot. “As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favour and f* off,”** he said at the time.
Other notable nominees this year include pop icon Mariah Carey, synth-pop pioneers New Order, and 80s star Cyndi Lauper, among others.
Artists become eligible for nomination 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame continues to be a subject of debate regarding what qualifies an artist for inclusion.
While Oasis' nomination has sparked renewed interest, it remains to be seen whether the band would accept the honor if selected. For now, the nomination leaves the door open.
For those unfamiliar, Gallagher’s choice of words is vulgar British slang used as an insult. Its literal meaning is perhaps best left to readers to Google—discretion advised!
