better than usual You definitely want this one. this is probably her second best behind Up Your Alley.
The Best Cure For Depression Around
They had just rereleased Touch Me on the radio,and I knew I had to have it. I can't describe how much this album rocks! I bought this on Lp back in 82,after having bought (and being pleased with)I love Rock and Roll. This reminds me of stuff like Heaven Tonight or In Color by Cheap Trick-it has that rebellion/but not quite punk energy. The best tracks are Bad Reputation, too Bad,Shout, and the Gary Glitter lost gem-Doing All RIght With The Boys-which she does BETTER. The Isleys would be proud of the middle breakdown on SHOUT. She is not the best singer around, but her energy,and conviction make up for it. Two of the Sex Pistols were on this album,which is why it has so much late 79 energy. When they finally put this on cd in 92, they added 4 songs, including SummertimeBlues-which was a radio hit for her,but extremely difficult to find and own at the time. The fact that she covers so much from the 60's shows how into rocknroll she really is-that was the golden age of rock. The sound isnt that bad for it's age,it is quite good for a low-budget recording. p. s. 10 things i hate about you has Bad Rep (the song) in it,and there is a show on TV that uses Bad Rep as it's intro.
A Classic!
I saw the video for "Bad Reputation" on VH-1. This is the first album I heard that Joan Jett released. I then bought the album, I will never regret it! This album is a classic, I personally think this has better material than "I Love Rock N' Roll," but don't get me wrong, that is great also with awesome material. My favorite tracks are "Bad Reputation," "You Don't Own Me," "Hanky Panky," and "Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah!). " If you are a classic rock fan you will love this in your collection.
joan jett's only great LP
this LP has really fast songs, sexual songs, and some other emotional songs. honestly folks this release was and still the greatest thing joan jett ever came out with. a great deal of variety went into this classic. all other releases besides "Bad Reputation" are boring, lacking!.
Great debut by a great rockin' artist
Her best songs from here are the self-penned "Bad reputation" and the cover song "Do you wnt to touch me" but these are just the two highlights there are many other great songs like another self-penned track "You don't know what you've got" and more fantastic covers like "Shout" and Make believe". Joan really does a great job on her debut album. This album was one of my very first tastes of Joan and helped to make me a fan for life.
