Our pick for December 2024 is Joan Jett's Bad Reputation, her first debut solo studio album after her band The Runaways called it quits. It was originally released independently in May 1980, self titled, then Jett signed with Boardwalk Records and it was re-released worldwide with this new title on January 23, 1981. It was pretty favourably received, with Jett having song writing credits on just 4 of 12 songs, with 5 singles being released. This was pre Jett forming The Black Hearts. Today Jett is recognized as one of the OG females of rock n’ roll and is still going strong today. She’s a legend. Dig in and see what you think...
