2 years in a row, almost inducted & they're still saying only 16% chance. That should have least gone up 75%. Hell, she shouldv'e been in along time ago. Hope they get their head outta their ass & Induct her in 2014.

The cover songs done by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts were made as an honor to those artists ! I would appreciate that if I wrote songs .

Lita Ford has not had the success that Joan Jett has !
Lita Ford now is a has been !

Lita Ford gave up music for over a decade !

Joan Jett fronted for the late Kurt Cobain on Nirvana's biggest hit . She was thought of first !

Joan Jett 's performance stole the show !

Name a female - fronted band that tours consistently and almost constantly like Joan Jett & the Blackhearts ? AND ENJOYS DOING IT ! !

JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS IN THE HALL IN 2015 ! !

JOAN JETT IS THE TRUE QUEEN OF ROCK ! !

THE RUNAWAYS WERE CONSIDERED A JOKE ! THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD IN MY OPINION !

LEE CRYSTAL PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR

GARY RYAN DOESN'T EVEN GO BY THAT NAME ANYMORE ! HE QUIT THE MUSIC BUSINESS AND IS NOW A TEACHER !

ARE THEY GOING TO TREAT THEM LIKE THEY DID DENNY CARMASSI AND MARK ANDES , FORMERLY OF HEART ?

LOTS OF REPLACEMENTS FOR THE BLACKHEARTS AND HEART SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED !

Joan Jett should absolutely be in the RnR HoF. If it had always been fan based votes, She would've been in there long ago. She has paved the way for many & IS Rock n' Roll!

It is NOT a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until she is in, how could it be? She is Rock and Roll and the BEST at what she does, no one deserves it more than Joan Jett!

The Runaways should be inducted first, but Joan deserved it a long time ago.

Drummer Lee Crystal died of multiple schlerosis in 2013. No one mentioned it here.

There was only one post on this page in 2013.

Posted by Roy on Thursday, 10/16/2014 @ 17:46pm


Yes, she's finally in! Take that, 16%!!!

Posted by NixtonV on Tuesday, 12/16/2014 @ 12:57pm


Who should give the the induction speech?

Dave Grohl
Alice Cooper
Kenny Laguna
Roger Daltry
Pete Townshend
Rick Nielsen
The Runaways

What about "Weird Al" Yankovic or Tommy James or Arrows?

Posted by Roy on Monday, 03/23/2015 @ 12:08pm


How about Kristen Stewart who played Joan Jett in the movie The Runaways?

Someone needs to be fired for this sick joke! According to the new Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame website, the inducted members of the Blackhearts are Thommy Price, Kasim Sulton, and Sami Yaffa.

I don't know how they got in before other female acts like The Runaways (which Joan was in), The Go-Go's, or Pat Benatar…baffling. Their most popular song is a cover for crying out loud (and not a good one at that).

Does anyone know why Thommy Price was snubbed? It's unbelievable.
