| For anyone thinking about buying Joan Jett, I have to say. The one you need is I Love Rock N Roll. There is a reason why it is her biggest album. Great songs like "Victim Of Circumstance" (her best song ever) are the reasons why!

| Has anyone heard of the band, The Lost? Joan Jett is the closest relation to them I could fine here on H. Harmonies. She played guitar on a song for their album. The album is s/t, and some songs are called "Mindblower", Bijou Dreams", and "Laughing Boy." It's good guitar rock and I was wondering if anybody else has this album?

| I really like this good album. It has every kind of songs: fast song (tulane), not fast songs (desire and play that song again). The song "I hate myself for loving you" is a very good classic. The song "just like in the movies" makes me turn the volume of my radio really loud. "Up your alley" is an excellent album and Joan Jett is definitely the lady of rock and roll. I'm from South America.

| Buenisimo!! El disco mas rockero y cañero de Joan Jett. En mi opinión está a un nivel por encima del resto. Mis favoritas: "You want in, I want out", "Ridin with James Dean" y "Little Liar".

| Typical album by Joan Jett..raw and straight Rock'n'Roll.."I Hate Myself For Loving You" is a good opener,"I Wanna Be Your Dog" is a song with a Punk attitude but with a Rock feeling,"You Want In I Want Out" has an AOR flavour,"Just Like In The Movies"(cool song)and so on...is this her best???..well not a bad album but neither out of this world (my humble opinion of course and respecting the other comments)...80/100

| This isn't one I listen to frequently, but it's pretty decent all the same, and is definitely harder than Joan's early Blackheart's material. "Desire," "Ridin' With James Dean," and "You Want In" are good, melodic tracks, while "Just Like In The Movies" and'I Hate Myself" rock fairly hard. "Tulane" is a Chuck Berry cover, and suitably bouncy, while "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is an Iggy/Stooges song, adn the heaviest moment of the disc.

| This was one of the first tapes I owned back in the day, and as such, I listened to it a lot until I had more of a collection. Joan did the same thing Pat Benatar did in '88: she went harder, trying to keep up in a world where hard rock was now a real commercial force. Somehow this feels less contrived than Pat's album with "All Fired Up" on it (can't recall the title offhand) because Joan's always had a harder edge. At the same time, the more overtly poppy songs don't seem as cheesy, even with the involvement of the ubiquitous Desmond Child and Diane Warren (and you can guess by listening which songs they co-wrote), because she's always had that power-pop thing going on too. For the most part, the songwriting is pretty sharp and the production solid, based around some strong riffs, catchy choruses and Joan's trademark "Ow!" "I Still Dream About You" is a pretty blatant copy of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," though (and weirdly, it came to mind the first time I heard "Memory's Garden" by Trou

| ... Trouble). On the whole, this is a fun listen, but one that's pretty much forgotten except for heavy airplay of "I Hate Myself For Loving You" on American classic-rock radio.
