YYZumbi Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 These 3 ladies are famous from the 70s all-girl-band The Runaways. But since they all went solo in the early 80s, who do you think have the best success as a solo artist? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I pick Lita Ford easy. She is such a underrated guitar player, and her voice is great! I saw her live this summer, and she was awesome on stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The question is "who made it best." That's easy. Joan Jett was one of the biggest solo artists in the world at one point. Same can't be said for the other 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Joan Jett. Couldn't care less about the other two. Lita Ford was average eye candy and not much else. Joan Jett has some classic tunes and was a major star for a very good reason. Iconic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say those are classic tunes as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joan was a huge star and Lita had a couple minor songs with the biggest being a duet with Ozzy which only reached number 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If the question is, "who ha[d] the best success as a solo artist," it's not really open to discussion. If it was supposed to be who you like best then of course it can be any of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I've seen Joan Jett live a few times and she has always been great, with a great band She got a great feel for the music and vibe, even though most of those classic songs were not hers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Ah Zumbi, you doomed your woman with your own question! Ancient Ways explained it already. So yeah, there is no question due to the question phrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I suppose you could make another thread and ask, "Who is your favorite...". Lita would still probably lose but it wouldn't be as big as a slaughter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't mean to give you a sad face. Maybe LF had some chart action in Europe that some of us aren't aware of.For a guy who grew up in the 70s/80s, Joan Jett was the one who was on the radio and had popular videos.But, yeah, Lita is hotter!And probably has more blood alcohol content. And before you get a sad face, watch this: She seems half-loaded in her beach scenes, but whatever.Warning: JJ is not in this and she did not approve the use of any of her music, so Lita has the soundtrack pretty much to herself.That should give you a happy face!:)best wishes,vt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I think Joan Jett is hotter than Lita Ford. Lita Ford has a rough face...I think she looks like a trans...not being mean she just looks trashy and she tries too hard to look edgy. Joan Jett just looks sincere and always herself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I think Joan Jett is hotter than Lita Ford. Lita Ford has a rough face...I think she looks like a trans...not being mean she just looks trashy and she tries too hard to look edgy. Joan Jett just looks sincere and always herself. 'Sincere' is great word to describe Joan. She's a straight up badass rocker and people saw right away her sincerity. She was being herself, a no bullshit, I just wanna rock person. That's one of the big reasons she got popular immediately after The Runaways ended and Lita didn't. Joan had an individual look and sound that connected with people. Lita on the other hand only ended up becoming famous because she turned up the sexuality in the Kiss Me Deadly video. She was really going nowhere for almost a decade before that. Sure, it's a good song but that doesn't change the fact that once the novelty of "hey this hot chick is dancing like a stripper in this video" wore off there wasn't much substance behind her. She always seemed more manufactured (Segue put it well by saying she tries too hard) and never really stood for anything like Joan did/still does. Individuality goes a long way in music and that's why so many think Joan Jett is better than Lita Ford.

If I want to listen to this sort of artist...if I really want to (and to be honest I don't), Doro Pesch is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 And the Kiss Me Deadly video... As trashy as Nicki Minaj...and the song is way less interesting. She just looks like she got a bad stylist and said "make me a rock chick" and POOF it happened. She looks like a polished old tart. And her music is awful. Absolutely nothing to write home about. I think the female metal singers and rock singers of the past twenty years have done a lot to give a genuine feminine touch to metal and most have done so without trying to appeal to teen boys. Lita Ford is just gross. And her body language in her videos looks so desperate. Nicole Sherzinger she is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well be asking who had a more successful solo career, Paul McCartney or Geddy Lee. There's no debate. People don't like Lita as much as you like Lita, so what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
