尽管Joan Jett的好听的经典曲目不多，但凭着I love rock and roll和I hate myself for loving you足以使她笑傲整个女性摇滚。因为事实上，没有多少歌手能够留下让后来人仍然津津乐道的传颂金曲。
1981年，Jett以Joan Jett& The Blackhearts之名推出了第二张专辑《I Love Rock-n-Roll》，这是她的辉煌时刻，也是八十年代重摇滚的开场白，专辑名列Top10，单曲“I Love Rock-n-Roll”成为一代摇滚礼赞。
1988年，取自专辑《Up Your Alley》的单曲“I Hate Myself for Loving You”终于再次打入Top10，专辑也成为了她的第二张白金唱片。
Joan Jett的音乐最明显的标志就是雪崩一样的音量和无法抵抗的钩子(指音乐中引人入胜的细节)，the Rolling Stones一样精力充沛的形象和节奏，AC/DC一样强大的和弦演奏。她坚持摇滚乐的传统，但也不断有所突破——她玩的是经典的三和弦rock & roll，然而她也喜欢某些被认为是垃圾的东西(比如Gary Glitter)。从他的第一支乐队the Runaways到他在八十年代的金曲机器合作者the Blackhearts直至她在九十年代出人意料的成功复出，她的音乐从未改变过，她用这种方式保证音乐的品质，并用这种方式创造了经典(“I Love Rock-n-Roll”)。
20年前，当Britney Spears出生的那一年，Joan Jett以一首I love rock and roll登上世界音乐排行榜的首位。20年后，已经是流行音乐超级偶像的Britney Spears却翻唱了这首摇滚经典曲目！
Joan Jett此后的女性摇滚乐队，几乎无一例外的宣称受到了Joan Jett的影响
歌词：
I Hate Myself for Loving You
Midnight, getting' uptight. where are you?
You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
Hey, Jack, It's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown.
I think of you ev'ry night and day.
You took my heart, then you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do.
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through
Hey, man, bet you can treat me right
You just don't know what you was missin' last night
I wanna see your face and say forget it just from spite
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do.
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart, then you took my pride away.
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
