Joan Jett的音乐最明显的标志就是雪崩一样的音量和无法抵抗的钩子(指音乐中引人入胜的细节),the Rolling Stones一样精力充沛的形象和节奏,AC/DC一样强大的和弦演奏。她坚持摇滚乐的传统,但也不断有所突破——她玩的是经典的三和弦rock & roll,然而她也喜欢某些被认为是垃圾的东西(比如Gary Glitter)。从他的第一支乐队the Runaways到他在八十年代的金曲机器合作者the Blackhearts直至她在九十年代出人意料的成功复出,她的音乐从未改变过,她用这种方式保证音乐的品质,并用这种方式创造了经典(“I Love Rock-n-Roll”)。
20年前,当Britney Spears出生的那一年,Joan Jett以一首I love rock and roll登上世界音乐排行榜的首位。20年后,已经是流行音乐超级偶像的Britney Spears却翻唱了这首摇滚经典曲目! Joan Jett此后的女性摇滚乐队,几乎无一例外的宣称受到了Joan Jett的影响
歌词:
I Hate Myself for Loving You
Midnight, getting' uptight. where are you? You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you Hey, Jack, It's a fact they're talkin' in town I turn my back and you're messin' around I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown. I think of you ev'ry 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 dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do. I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through Hey, man, bet you can treat me right You just don't know what you was missin' last night I wanna see your face and say forget it just from spite 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 I hate myself for loving you Can't break free from the things that you do. I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why I hate myself for loving you I think of you ev'ry 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 I hate myself for loving you I hate myself for loving you
