Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts was a leader in the rise of female hard rockers in the seventies and eighties. Others include Heart, Pat Benatar, and Stevie Nicks. All of a sudden women could perform hard rock. Their punk-based style made them badass enough to earn them a lot of success. It is a shame they were not inducted their first year of eligibility.
