Joan Jett - I Love Rock 'n Roll

After the breakup of The Runaways ("Cherry Bomb"), Joan Jett started her solo career. This record was her second release and first with her backup band The Blackhearts. Joan pretty much slays any cover she's ever attempted, "Crimson and Clover" (Tommy James and the Shondells) is a great example.
