\n\tThe Rock & Roll Hall of Fame revealed its class of 2026 on Monday evening<\/a>, and it\u2019s an unusually strong one. After years of dithering in which they proclaimed that Foreigner and Bon Jovi were somehow more worthy than Joy Division<\/a>\/New Order<\/a>, the Hall is finally<\/em> bringing in the groundbreaking post-punk band. (It was starting to look as if Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, and Peter Hook would have to start yet another world-changing band to be recognized by the Hall.) <\/p>\n \n\tElsewhere, Phil Collins<\/a> is joining the double inductee club (which also should have happened at least a decade ago), icons Sade<\/a> and Luther Vandross got well-deserved nods, and Wu-Tang Clan and Oasis<\/a> are representing the Nineties.<\/p>\n \n\tBut like every year, there\u2019s a lot of confusion and questions lingering in the air. An unusually large number of British acts are in the class, and historically they don\u2019t have the same reverence for the Hall of Fame as their American counterparts. It\u2019s unclear how many will show up. There\u2019s also the potential for a very messy reunion between bandmates who absolutely loathe one another and have had almost no contact in two decades. And in one case, the Hall of Fame seems to have made a rather baffling blunder regarding which exact members of a band are getting in. <\/p>\n \n\tHere are eight questions we have about this year\u2019s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Oasis induction is capping off an extraordinary year for the Britpop icons. Their 2025 reunion tour packed stadiums all across the planet: They weren\u2019t this popular in America even at the height of their (What\u2019s the Story) Morning Glory?<\/em> fame in the mid-Nineties. There\u2019s no hint of any future shows, and they\u2019ve said very little about the Hall of Fame beyond a series of snarky X posts<\/a> by Liam Gallagher. \u201cReverse psychology vibes in the area Oasis RnR hall of farmers I mean famers,\u201d he wrote in a post dripping with sarcasm. \u201cI wanna thank all the people who voted for us, it\u2019s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I\u2019d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it\u2019s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\tWill Oasis Show Up?\t<\/h2>\n
