Bad Reputation

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ debut album ‘Bad Reputation’ (1981) began as a menacing thesis, facing a world that told Jett, “girls don’t play electric guitar,” and continues to thrive 45 years later as a cultural staple. The title track has been featured as the intro theme of TV shows (Freaks and Geeks, American Chopper), in ads (Folgers, Jack Daniel’s, Nike), films (10 Things I Hate About You, Shrek), Taylor Swift’s 2018 stadium tour, and was certified gold as a digital single reaching new streaming audiences every day. The album includes additional hits like “You Don’t Own Me” and “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah), guest appearances by Sex Pistols and Blondie personnel, and remains a timeless message, reminding us that Joan Jett's perseverance and resolve are just as visceral and authentic as when she first told us "a girl can do what she wants to do.
