Oasis and Mariah Carey nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for second consecutive year

Oasis and Mariah Carey have been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the second consecutive year.

The Wonderwall hitmakers, who are gearing up for a big reunion tour this summer, and the Always Be My Baby singer were first nominated for induction into the famed institution for the first time last year but were not voted in.

However, they have made the ballot for the second consecutive year alongside other returning nominees the White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, Joy Division/New Order and Soundgarden.

The class of 2025 candidates also include first-time nominees; Hey Ya hitmakers OutKast, English singers Joe Cocker and Billy Idol, Latin rock group Maná, rock and roll pioneer Chubby Checker, and bands Phish, Bad Company and the Black Crowes.

It remains to be seen if voters will overlook Oasis singer Liam Gallagher declaring "f**k the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" after being nominated a year ago. He called it "a load of b**lox" on X and stated that he wouldn't attend the ceremony because "I don't need some w**k award by some geriatric in a cowboy hat".

When a fan wrote, "Oasis deserves to be recognized for their impact and achievements," he responded, "Not as much as Mariah she smashed it."

Artists become eligible for nomination 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording. The class of 2025 will be unveiled in April ahead of an induction ceremony in Los Angeles later this year.
