Yesterday the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced its 2025 inductees, the mysterious and much-quibbled annual industry back-slap, delivering good news for Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast and The White Stripes.
And not so good news for Oasis, Mariah Carey, Phish, Joy Division/New Order, Billy Idol and The Black Crowes, with the Manc contingent of Oasis and Joy Division/New Order now being passed over twice.
