#463 CRIMSON AND CLOVER Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Joan Jett was first noticed as a member of female rock group The Runaways. When that band broke up in 1980, Jett launched a solo career. She released her debut solo album that same year. In 1981, she put together a backing band named The Blackhearts. After scoring an international hit with "I Love Rock 'n Roll" in 1982, Jett released her cover of a 60s hit for the follow-up. 
"Crimson and Clover" was written by Tommy James and Peter Lucia. It had been a US #1 in 1969 for their group Tommy James & The Shondells. Jett's version was produced by longtime associate Kenny Laguna and Ritchie Cordell. Her remake reached the Top 10 in America, Australia, Canada and Switzerland.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
