Cher called out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for failing to induct her into the music museum. The singer said that she wouldn't accept an induction now after being snubbed for years.

After Clarkson pointed out that Cher was the only musician to have number 1 songs over seven decades, the Grammy Award winner noted that she and the Rolling Stones actually shared the accomplishment.

“Two of us have,” Cher said. "“It took four of them to be one of me.”

Cher is savage

“Can I just say one other thing?” Cher asked. “I changed music forever with ‘Believe.'”

Yup.

      Joy Division? Highly recommend a listen. They were a small-time post-punk / gothic rock band from England formed in 1976, and their popularity exploded in 1980. They only made 2 albums before the lead singer committed suicide, and I think the second album came out shortly before his death. They were fairly popular during their short time. Lots of major bands in that genre and outside that genre can trace their inspiration to Joy Division. They pretty much changed “punk” and “working class” music forever.

      New Order was formed by the remaining members of Joy Division and slowly transition to becoming more synth pop. You’ve probably heard their hit single “Blue Monday,” which has almost 200M views on youtube. They were pretty much pioneers in the genre and the same that I said with Joy Division is the same with New Order. Lots and lots of bands sprung up in New Order’s wake.
