Yes !

Nice choices I like the Runaways version of Cherry Bomb best though!

[–] Adam60z (3781) 5 years ago

I saw Joan Jett in 1982; warmed up for Cheap Trick. Yes, the Runaways was the original.

I saw her in 82 as well. I was only 15, so I can’t remember the exact details.

[–] stickman38 (3439) 5 years ago

Can we include her songs when she was in The Runaways?

If so, then I'll go with -

1. Cherry Bomb

2. I Love R&R

3. Crimson & Clover

Naw cause it removes the blackhearts and it was a vastly different lineup.

Happy 63rd to Joan Jett! Saw her on the '82 tour warming up for Cheap Trick.
Cherry Bomb
I Love Rock'n'Roll written by Alan Merrill (1951-2020 Covid) and Jake Hooker (1953-2014).

I generally prefer the deep cuts to the hits, but I love everything she's ever done to some degree. So, narrowing it down to just three songs is super tough! But, at the moment, I'd say:

1. Bad As We Can Be
2. My Big Reward
3. Spinster

On another note, so cool that this thread was started by someone with the screenname " NotoriousRio" cause did you know that Notorious was the name of her band's 1991 album? Sure was! :-)
