Joan Jett

This woman scares me.

A fine artist and better than average guitar player. My son saw her in Atlanta a few years back. He said, "Dad she rocks!" She does a great job on Cremson & Clover and Hot Child. Take a listen. If you've not heard, you won't be disappointed.

I HEART YOU

hall of famer

JETT BLACK

Let her in and Pinkie Tuscedero is next.

One hit - a cover - and a dreadful girl band called The Runaways. You're kidding. Music that had no innovation or furthered a genre.

Perhaps too rock'n'roll for the Hall?

I think you actually have to have more than one hit, not keep re-releasing the same song.

Joan Jett is Rock n Roll, Pure and Simple. She transends time and gender. I have seen her many times live in real small venues, she is in essence, true to form punk rock icon, she rocks the roof off. She used to hang out after shows, usually signing autographs, taking pictures with fans. Joan has always been a very humble spirit, she just is having fun being herself, it is the only thing that makes sense to her. She is not a hack, nor a one hit wonder, those who get her, just do, and those that don't, who cares, she dosen't. I have had the pleasure and good fortune to meet her dozens of times. I have had both small and lengthy conversations with her, she has always been real cool to me, she just wants everyone to have fun and let loose. All this silly banter is just that, silly. Why is this even a question, of course she should be in th RRHF, if it weren't for the Runaways, there would have been no Pat Benatar, no Hole, no L7, no Kikini Kill, no 4 Non Blondes. She is Joan Jett, a true ... Read more

she still looks great

she's got heart

Lots of girl rockers attribute listening to Joan Jett as their inspiration! Joan Jett is pure rock and roll.

I hate myself for loving her!

to all those here who say that Joan Jett is a one-hit wonder, WRONG! First, one-hit wonders are artists that, not only have just one hit, But, After that hit, are GONE and no longer heard from. they're Out of the music industry. Joan Jett has been working her ass off touring and playing REAL rock n' roll since she was a teenager in The Runaways. her Other hits include 'I Hate Myself For Loving You, Roadrunner, Crimson & Clover, Do Ya Wanna Touch, and Light Of Day. yes, some are covers, But, still hits And , like i said, she Constantly continues to work her ass off and tour Year after Year after Year....!! That is NOT a one-hit wonder.  to those who just simply thinks that she sucks, well, you're entitled to your opinion, But, that's Not what decides who gets into the Hall Of Fame. it's Accomplishments and longevity in the music business. this isn't grade school, kiddies. "aw, they suck!" "aww you suck!" shut up already! grow up and be adult and realize that even music artists you Don't... Read more

I'm gonna echo the BS flag raising and say that some stalker needs a new hobby. In four days a bunch of fives have been dropped by people who are all saying the same thing. MULTI! UPDATE: How nice to see that the whole fan club showed up. Send me another message and I'll add her to my Points of Loathing list. She's a hack that shouldn't be allowed to play for change outside the entrance to the hall of fame! BRING ON THE HATE MAIL: Aside from bad taste in music, Joan Jett fans can add hate mail regarding said taste to the list of things they can do with their otherwise dull lives. I've already gotten one curse laden message and don't mind more. In addition, your fan club has made my points of loathing list, just like I promised! Enjoy! MEMO TO FAN CLUB: Go back to whatever dopey website you came from. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does not use RIA in their voting system. IT CONTINUES: Six messages, two with cursing, one suggesting I seek therapy. Was the change joke that bad? UPDATE: T... Read more

She had 3 top 10 hits ("I Love Rock n' Roll", "Crimson & Clover", "I Hate Myself for Loving You"), so she is not a one-hit wonder. She has a better shot than similar rockers like Def Leppard, due to her gender, but probably won't get in.

Joan Jett rocks and I love her new CD Sinner it's awesome keep up the rock n Joan Jett and I'll keep coming to the shows & quot;Change The World & quot; it's reality wake up people. Joan Jett ROCKS!

I LOVE ROCKNROLL I LLLUUUVVV!!!! JOAN JETT!!!!!

Great archetypal rocker-he lack of pretension a real plus.

Last week I saw Joan Jett live on the Warped Tour. She is amazing - rock n roll embodied, with the spirit and the understanding and the feeling. She plays like it matters and it does. Enshrine her or be shamed.

NOT ONLY DOES JOAN BELONG IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, SHE DESERVES EVERY AND ANY AWARD AND REWARD SHE RECEIVES. HER MUSIC CHANGED MY LIFE. I'M ONLY HOPING THAT SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW, I WILL FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO SEE HER PLAY. I bet all you pie faced rejects who hate Joan, probably listen to classic rock all day, and all live normal unexceptional lives. Get over yourselves!

I love rock and roll, a good reason to keep Joan out

A one-hit wonder. Not even a potentital candidate.

Someone should tell all the lemmings checking in that their favorite skank won't get any closer to the R&R; Hall of Fame because of their one-comment registrations. The only part of her music I liked is the cover on Naked, and then she doesn't have much to flaunt!

I thought the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was supposed to celebrate outstanding achievement.

I don't hate her stuff, she just does not deserve the hall of fame. I did think she looked good in leather, though.

I have loved and admired Joan Jett's music for about 18 years now. I believe she is extremely talented and deserves to be inducted into the RRHF. She is rock'n'roll defined. She has inspired me personally to play rock music and I know has been a major influence for many bands old and new. In my opinion Joan Jett is the spirit of rock'n'roll and just experiencing one live show could convince even the toughest cynic that she is deserving of this reward. With 3 top ten records, and 7 other Billboard top 100 entries, both covers and ORIGINALS, seems to me she is more than deserving! Not to mention she has persevered the adversity and discouraging moments encountered by simply being a female. Joan Jett will continue to produce talanted and meaningful music no matter what. Her continued strength, loyalty, honesty, and die-hard commitment to herself, her friends/fans, and to rock music confirms her longevity in this industry. Hail!Hail!JOAN JETT!

One song should never get you into the hall of fame especially this one hit wonder.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. IF ANYONE DESERVES HALL OF FAME RICOGHITION, IT'S JOAN.

She was great and should go eventually. However, her contribution was limited, as she only did what others before her did. No real contribution that would have immitators 20 years later.

She is best known for I love Rock'n' Roll, a song she didn't even write. Putting her in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be like putting Marylin Manson in the Hall of Fame for Tainted Love! UPDATE: Another one of here song I hate myself for loving you., I have heard garage bands play that song better than her. TO INSANEOCAPT: I have no problem with women playing in a Rock Band. My mom was in one. I personally think that Joan Jett sucks.

I hate her music. It's corporate crap. they shouldn't even call it rock, rather Pop EDIT: LMAO to souljunkie. I have a hunch a majority of them also belong to the POISON fanclub :) EDIT: No I think they're mad that they paid all that money for a ticket when all this time they could have seen her for 25 cents ;) EDIT: You know, I haven't had this much attention paid to a post since the one on Bush LOL WHo would have known? EDIT: I can imagine you, numbah, laying on a couch complaining to a shrink that you don't like Joan Jett and you think there's something wrong with you .. when in fact I think anyone who likes her should be the ones to see a shrink. EDIT: insane, you just proved my point exactly. Numbah, man us women are always taking the rap for something!

Joan Jett is a Goddess of Rock and Roll. She is one of the best female vocalists of rock. Just becaused her number one hit I love rock and roll was not written by her does not exclude her from the rock and roll hall of fame.

Who says that great music has to fit certain criteria to be great? Joans music is her own. She has her own style and I believe in her! I love to listen to her music. It's rock, it's punchy , it's Joan Jett. Look at everything that she has done and accomplished. Her career speaks for itself. I think she deserves to be in the Hall because of what she has accomplished and what she has given to the music world. You have to look beyond your your personal opinion on whether or not you like her songs, and look at what she has done. Go Joan!!!

If ever anyone were to be cut and bleed rock and roll,that would be Joan Jett. She has being touring since she was 15 with the Runaways and has continued to follow her passion with out stopping. Jett has influenced a multitude of talent of either gender who give great praise and respect to their mentor. She has busted open doors, hurdled obstacles, paved her own way where there where no roads at all, saved a life of a drowning boy, quietly volunteers for animal shelters, puts her life in danger to support and play for our troops (no matter what her opinion is on the war), which I might add, has been the first to go in combat zones on more than one occasion and returns to the combat zones. She is a person representitive of conviction, strength, dignity, loyalty, kindness, forthrightness and a driving force inside her spirit keeps her marching for the mojo of rock and roll. Her drug is rock and roll. Her heart beats rock and roll. She breaths rock and roll. She LOVES rock and roll. Joan ... Read more

A couple of hits do not make a career worthy of the Hall of Fame. Sorry, Joanie.

Joan has dedicated her entire adult life to this!!! It would be sooooo unfair if she wouldn't get it!

Is she still alive? Was average back in the day, but hardly Hall of Fame material.

Joan Jett is a living legend! She should be in the Hall of Fame. She is the classiest, sexiest, most-talented female rocker I have ever seen. See her in concert and you will agree!!

Joan Jett - screaming no talent hack. She belongs in the Hall of Shame

I'm a JETT JUNKY from way back! Joan, you rock!

Defintely should be in Hall of fame.

I love rock & roll - joan jett belongs in the hall of fame THIS YEAR! please don't pass her by she's been around - 70's 80's 90's and still today with a new cd - naked - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - rule! if she does't get in, there's something wrong with the voting process.

Not a huge fan, but you gotta admit, she's like a cockroach---ya can't kill her. And her guitar playing is signature, has a life of it's own.

JOan Jett is the coolest.I think she deserves it.Joan Jett is my idol.She lives Rock N Roll.THats why I think She deserves to get it.Joan Jett loves Rock N' Roll.If anybody thinks Joan sucks.They are dumb.Joan Rocks.Joan don't rock like anybody else.

She changed my life. I was in high school in 1976, and my best friend brought this album over, with 5 16 year old girls playing Rock and Roll: The Runaways. You have to understand, this was unheard of at that time; It just wasn't done, women couldn't play rock like the men; All of a sudden, it was like, well, why not? She has influenced countless musicians today; Thanks to her (and The Runaways), we had The GO-GO's, Pretenders, Bangles, Hole, L7, etc etc etc etc, and generations of women rockers to come. I became an instant fan, listening to the progress and growth, year after year. I never got why they weren't huge. Sure enough, years later, Joan Jett hits as a solo artist. And she changes, grows, rocks, keeps playing, touring, writing; A true pioneer; An inspiration to women everywhere.

1) First time I've been to this board so you can't accuse me of being the same fan voting over and over again. I'm not even a member of her fan club or message board (although I think I might join). 2) I have had the pleasure of seeing Joan Jett live, playing her heart out in the pouring rain for fans of all ages, races and genders. I have never seen fans more appreciative. So the rating she has received does not surprise me at all. 3) It always amazes me at how nasty people can get when hiding behind a coded moniker. 4) Does she belong in Rock Hall? Absolutely. Numbers of top 40 hits (by the way she had 12) and number of Grammy nominations (1989-I Hate Myself for Loving YouI guess that blows the one hit wonder thing out of the water) arent part of the criteria. What is part of the criteria is that selections must include influence and significance of the artist's contribution to rock 'n' roll. You may or may not like her but if you know anything about her you know she fits the bil... Read more
