Joanie - she is dirtier!

― chris moran (chris moran), Monday, 13 March 2006 13:12 (twenty years ago)

Debbie, she's untouchable

― Zora (Zora), Monday, 13 March 2006 14:47 (twenty years ago)

they should start doing Women In Prison movies again

Debbie and Joan in a remade Caged Heat or Big Mama

Did Jett do Heart of Glass? No.

Joan has a great rock n' roll image but Blondie has the better songs.

Therefore, Debbie it is.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Monday, 13 March 2006 15:32 (twenty years ago)

oh this is too easy, off-the-peg american rawk chick vs the cool sexy blonde with the magic songs

― dr x o'skeleton, Monday, 13 March 2006 15:35 (twenty years ago)

Which one was in the Runaways?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 13 March 2006 15:44 (twenty years ago)

Name one truly great song by Joan Jett?

A few half decent rockers maybe but nothing that compares to Blondie's catalogue.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Monday, 13 March 2006 15:47 (twenty years ago)

.. and it's a nice catalogue. Pictures and everything.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 13 March 2006 15:53 (twenty years ago)

Joan Jett vs Lita Ford would've been a fairer competition.

― I'm thinking six, six, six (noodle vague), Monday, 13 March 2006 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Well, inasfar as "Joan Jett" would be the obvious choice.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 13 March 2006 16:21 (twenty years ago)

I thought we were talking about Debbie solo.

I like Joan, but "French Kissin' in the U.S.A." and "I Want That Man" are tops.

Exackly mark.

― I'm thinking six, six, six (noodle vague), Monday, 13 March 2006 16:24 (twenty years ago)

Joan Jett!
Why do people think heart of glass is good?

― what?, Monday, 13 March 2006 20:54 (twenty years ago)

Because they fail to recognize that it's actually great?

>> Name one truly great song by Joan Jett?

Bad Reputation, duh.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Monday, 13 March 2006 22:01 (twenty years ago)

I'd choose Debs, purely on the basis of "Out In The Streets".

― cnwb (cnwb), Monday, 13 March 2006 22:01 (twenty years ago)

the point of all these TS threads continues to elude me.

They provide a compelling document of the changing tastes and fashions of a broad cross-section of people who give a shit. Or something.

neither of them died young, but jett got pretty.. while DH has pretty much deteriorated in her own time. then again jett never did anything i love as much as that song.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 00:07 (twenty years ago)

joan jett = termite art, blondie = white elephant art.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 00:25 (twenty years ago)

Joan Jett. Debbie Harry is a bitch.

― Dan (She's A Mean Old Bitch; She's The Biggest Bitch In The Whole Wide World) Pe, Tuesday, 14 March 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Did something just happen that gave Harry her bitch status?

― Jeff K (jeff k), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

yeah on her last tour she was a right b1tch to the fans. moody old wh0re.

― andy wilkinson, Wednesday, 22 March 2006 17:55 (twenty years ago)

What the hell is wrong with you people? Debbie went pop Joan's fucking rock 'n' roll, there should be NO competition man, Joan all the way! They're two completely different artists though, so I don't get why they're being compared. . .

Tough one, but

calling joan jett an off-the-peg american rock chick is like calling ancient greece an off-the-peg civilization

every time joan jett covers anything it becomes the best song ever written

Like the Parthenon, creamed spinach, and Wodehouse, Fit To Be Tied is one of the glories of Western civ.
