We pick the 20 greatest British rock bands of all time, from Oasis to The Beatles
Most people would be thrilled to be nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – but not Liam Gallagher.
The 51-year-old Mancunian musician wrote “F**k the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS,” on X on Monday after his old band Oasis received a nomination.
After a fan queried the singer, saying, “I fully understand why you aren’t interested but we really really want this for you and Noel, Oasis deserves it like no other band,” Gallagher replied saying, “I appreciate that you do but I honestly feel there’s something very fishy about those awards.”
Liam and his older brother Noel, 56, performed as Oasis for nearly two decades, before splitting up in 2009.So while Liam Gallagher is clearly not a fan of accolades, it’s undeniable that the musician has released some groundbreaking music throughout his career.
It is a further reminder that the larger UK music scene has produced some of the world’s most iconic bands and artists, whose work remains just as popular and revered to this day as ever. From hard rock to punk, new wave, indie and Britpop, British bands have taken the success of entire genres
