Both a talented guitarist and vocalist, Joan Jett crashed the rock music scene in the 1970's as the lead for the Runaways. She later formed The Blackhearts and it was with this band that her raw and raucous style gained popularity in the United States.
I absolutely love her as a guitarist. She was a pioneer in the male-dominated rock music genre and was a force to be reckoned with. The song that sent her career to success is I Love Rock 'n' Roll but my favorite is still Crimson and Clover which came out in 1983. I've shared it below.
Who is your favorite diva?

Rock divas I admire are Joan Jett and Patty Smyth. I just wish these television sports show would play the music of these rock and roll artist instead of the rappers who could not spit shine the shoes of Joan and Patty and other artists of the 1980s.

@suziecat7 Now I have learned to appreciate the rock and roll artist of the 1970s and 1980s. At least they sang positive songs.

Now I know who she is. I've heard the song Crimson and Clover many times. If I had to choose a favorite female artist, it would be Lauren Daegle. I think that's how you spell her last name.

Joan was leader of the Runaways but not lead singer which was Cherie Curie. Loved the Runaways. Best rock diva: either Annie Lennox or Chrissie Hynde.

Current favorite diva right now- Ariana Grande because of her promising, soulful voice. Hoping she experiments with rock elements in the near future because her vocal talent is astounding.
