Free Music Notes for Up Your Alley
Free Music Review: Joan's Finest Hour
Hit: 5 Stars
I owned Joan Jett's album "Up Your Alley" on cassette tape along with Pat Benatar's "Wide Awake In Dreamland", which were both issued by Epic Records the same year (1988; back then, Pat's label, Chrysalis, was owned by Epic). These two albums were the best of that year. The hit tune "I Hate Myself For Loving You" is now overdone to death as the NBC Sunday Night Football jingle, but I loved Joan's intimate guitar on "Little Liar", her best track on the album.
Overall, this album ranks up there with "Bad Reputation" and "I Love Rock & Roll" as one of Joan's three hallmarks of her recording career. Too bad she and Pat Benatar couldn't have done at least one duet--their combined vocals and guitars would have sounded great together.

Hit: 5 Stars
Joan Jett is I do beleive the first lady to break through male dominated "Hard rock". She opened the door for many others.
Truly one of the "GREATEST ROCK N ROLLERS". You can't, not like this album if you like Hard Rock. She gets your head bobbing !

While this is a good example of what Jett can do, Fit to Be Tied: Great Hits by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, is a better way to get your Joan Jett fix. Many songs on this CD, however, are not on Fit to Be Tied. If you want everything Jett has done, this is the CD to get. However, if you just want a sample of the more popular hits, Fit to be Tied is the better choice.
