Oh, wow, really going back a ways. It's been more than thirty years since I first heard Joan Jett, and I instantly liked her. I'm sure "I Love Rock and Roll" was the first I heard from her, but I listened a lot over the years. This is another musician I have a hard time picking favorites from. What about "Everyday People"? What about "You Don't Own Me"? (She did lots of great covers, so yeah, one more reason to like her.) Jeez... "Bad Reputation," "Fake Friends,""I Hate Myself For Loving You." Even "Light Of Day." Too many. Do yourself a favor and go listen to a few more, but here are some I really really like.
I Love Rock and Roll
Do You Wanna Touch
Crimson And Clover- probably my favorite cover by her. This is a fairly recent version; she looks a little different.
Love Is All Around- yes, the Mary Tyler Moore theme. This is another song where the cover replaces the original on my mental playlist.
Androgynous- a much newer song, and one of my faves. I just found out it's not a JJ original; the Replacements wrote it in the early '80s.
