5.0 out of 5 stars Gloriously overlooked in 1984, January 25, 2008

I was surprised in the early 1990s when I saw Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth, Album, and Good Music.

It was like in between 'Light of Day' and 'I Hate Myself For Loving You', there were 3 albums that went totally under the MTV radar.

All songs are great on this CD but you catch the spirit of punk in 1984 with the songs 'Long Time' 'Push & Stomp' & 'Cherry Bomb'.

The remake of the song 'New Orleans' is as close to cajun punk one has ever done.

Of course given how MTV has gotten I guess Joan was lucky to get her 'Up Your Alley' and 'Hit List' songs any air play.

Well thank God for youtube ( www.youtube.com ) where you can see all her videos now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW_HCdU-qEY Cherry Bomb

Yeah I don't know why MTV passed up all this between 1983-1988 but a definate must have for any fan.

One of my favorite Joan albums, Glorious Results is a gem of a rocker- featuring Cherry Bomb (an awesome remake of the Runaways' classic- AKA her first band- check them out!) and the teen-angst favorite Frustrated. You won't have any problem getting into this record- no matter what your mood.

This one really rocks! My very favorite Joan Jett album. Every song on here is fantastic. Cherry Bomb and Road Runner are my favorites. No CD collection would be complete without this. A must for driving and just plain rockin' out!
