Manchester bands are in the running for the honour, alongside acts like Soundgarden and The White Stripes - although Liam Gallagher is NOT impressed.

Giants of Manchester music have been nominated for this year's Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony.

Oasis and Joy Division/New Order (as a single group) have been listed alongside the likes of The White Stripes, Soundgarden and Billy Idol as potential inductees at the 2025 ceremony, which is due to take place later this year.

Liam and Noel Gallagher - who are making their live comeback this summer - were nominated in 2024, but failed to make the shortlist.

However, Liam was not impressed by the honour, claiming in a post on X that "RNR hall of fame is for WANKERS", but adding that if Oasis were inducted, he'd "Obv go and say it’s the best thing EVER".

Also on the countdown of potential 2025 inductees are grunge heroes Soundgarden, garage rock stars The White Stripes and hip hop duo OutKast.

Classic rock fans will be pleased to see Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Billy Idol and Joe Cocker on the list, while pop legends Mariah Carey and Cyndi Lauper are also in the running. 83-year-old rock 'n' roll pioneer Chubby Checker is also included.

The final list of inductees is picked by a panel of over 1,200 musicians and industry people.
