Liam Gallagher'S Rock Hall Rant: Oasis Frontman Rejects Nomination

Liam Gallagher's Bold Stance Against Rock Hall of Fame Voting

Liam Gallagher, the notoriously outspoken frontman of Oasis, has stirred up a new wave of controversy. This time, it's not about sibling rivalry or a high-profile feud, but a surprising twist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame voting process. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Gallagher candidly discouraged fans from casting their votes for Oasis, openly expressing his disdain for what many consider a prestigious accolade.

The drama unfolded when fans began rallying behind the band after they were announced as finalists for the 2026 Hall of Fame induction. Alongside Oasis, other nominees include rock legends like Iron Maiden and pop icons such as Phil Collins and Shakira. However, Gallagher's reaction was anything but grateful.

“I’m gonna block you for that,” Gallagher bluntly responded to a fan who revealed they had submitted a vote for Oasis. “Voting is for WANKERS.”

Gallagher's Unapologetic Refusal

When questioned about his seemingly brash attitude, Gallagher doubled down. He wasn't biting his tongue when he explained, “I’m just not feeling this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing is that a f*cking crime.” His words underscore a clear disinterest in the Hall's recognition, despite Oasis's successful nomination.

This moment is particularly significant for the legendary Manchester band, marking a major milestone in their musical journey. According to the Los Angeles Times, artists become eligible for induction 25 years after releasing their first commercial recording, a testament to the band's enduring influence.

Diverse Lineup for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2026

The 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame finalist list is a melting pot of musical diversity, featuring nominees ranging from the soulful Mariah Carey to the iconic Wu-Tang Clan and the legendary Lauryn Hill. For Oasis and Mariah Carey, this marks their debut nomination, emphasizing their lasting impact on the music scene.

As the induction timeline rolls forward – despite Gallagher's vocal objections – music lovers will eagerly await the announcement of this year's inductees in April, with the official ceremony set for the fall. The nomination process is no trivial matter, as it's the result of careful deliberation by a committee of music industry insiders, as noted by the Los Angeles Times.
