1981年經典「I Love Rock-n-Roll」及1988「I hate myself for loving you」
Joan Jett的音樂最明顯的標志就是雪崩一樣的音量和無法抵抗的鉤子
(指音樂中引人入勝的細節),
the Rolling Stones一樣精力充沛的形象和節奏,
AC/DC一樣強大的和弦演奏。
她堅持搖滾樂的傳統,
但也不斷有所突破──她玩的是經典的三和弦rock & roll,
然而她也喜歡某些被認為是垃圾的東西(比如Gary Glitter)。
從他的第一支樂隊the Runaways到他在八十年代的金曲機器合作者the Blackhearts
直至她在九十年代出人意料的成功復出,她的音樂從未改變過,
她用這種方式保證音樂的品質,
並用這種方式創造了經典(“I Love Rock-n-Roll”)。
I hate myself for loving you -Joan Jett
< !-- 英文歌詞 -->
Midnight, getting uptight Where are you?
You said you'd meet me
Now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hanging but I'm still wanting you
Hey, Jack, It's a fact they're talking in town
I turn my back and you're messing around
I'm not really jealous
Don't like looking like a clown
I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, then you took my pride away
*I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreaming about the loving you do
I won't be as angry about the hell you put me through
Hey, man, bet you can treat me right
You just don't know what you was missing last night
I wanna see your face and say forget it just from spite (*)
I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, then you took my pride away
