Back then in comparison to the top bands they ( Runaways ) weren't very good. Joan Jett as a Solo/Front for her band now has just improved exponentially..... In her own way she's a unique product that no one will be able to duplicate without a lot of very hard work.....A joy to listen to....
Thanks. I like Joan Jett but I was surprised recently when I heard she is in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. I didn't think her body of work, with some of it being covers, was enough to have her in. Although many rock critics have many issues about who is in and not in the Hall so perhaps it's not the best measure of quality. I'll have to listen to more Joan Jett to see what I'm missing - I'm always looking for music to listen to as I knock of items on the honey do list.
