- Description:
- Although her solo career has hit many a peak and valley, Joan Jett`s perseverance paid off greatly, as she became a major leading figure and inspiration for the "riot grrrl" movement of the 1990s and its main exponents, such as L7, 7 Year Bitch, and Bikini Kill. And while the 1997 best-of collection, FIT TO BE TIED, is the best place to start for the Jett newcomer, her 1994 rarities collection, FLASHBACK, isn`t too shabby, either.
Jett has relied on covering other artists` songs perhaps more than any other rocker of recent times, but she has a way of putting her own unmistakable stamp on the compositions of others. She may have veered from her original direction briefly in the late-`80s, trying her hand at more mainstream fare, but FLASHBACK focuses on her raw punk side. Standouts include an early version of "I Love Rock N` Roll" recorded with ex-Sex Pistols Steve Jones and Paul Cook, as well as covers of tracks made popular by Alice Cooper ("Be My Lover") and David Bowie ("Rebel Rebel"), plus a live version of "Cherry Bomb" with L7. In many ways, FLASHBACK is a collection of Joan Jett`s true greatest hits.
