Cher has done a lot of things. She scored her first Hot 100 chart-topper in 1965 and her last in 1999. (At 52, Cher was the oldest woman to land a #1 hit until last week, when Brenda Lee broke the record.) Cher sang backup on “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” She helped modernize the variety show in the ’70s and defied expectations in the ’80s. She won an Oscar for Best Actress. The ubiquitous robotic Auto-Tune effect? Cher did that first. But Cher is not in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and she thinks that’s some bullshit.
Yeah all the answers I’ve seen so far either dismiss this or discuss the word “pop”.
“Believe” was pop, and did she particularly do rock a lot? Cause I can’t recall. And I’m sure she’s awesome, but that still doesn’t automatically make her eligible for a rock and roll hall of fame.
So either she did rock (and roll), or the name of this list is basically wrong, or she doesn’t belong on there.
And don’t get me wrong, if she really doesn’t care, good for her. No need to be pissed you don’t get a price, ppl will probably recognize your impact even without a price.

I thought that too until someone pointed out they induct country and rap. But really Cher wasn’t as important as she thinks she is.
