and Tommy James and the Shondells version where they just kinda went, "Hey! Tremolo for you, you, and everyone!":

I went down a Shondells rabbit hole the other day.  Had no idea that this one, fairly unremarkable 60s band, produced three hits that would later become major iconic 80s cover hits.

Crimson and Clover - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Mony Mony - Billy Idol
I Think We're Alone Now - Tiffany

By the time Joan Jett came along, I was too busy to listen to popular music. I did not realize that they (she and the Blackhearts) had done a cover of "Crimson and Clover."

But they did it very well.

A lot of their hits are technically covers. "I Love Rock n Roll" was originally written by a UK band called "The Arrows".

I've heard George Thorogood's playing described as "Burgers and Fries". That's a pretty apt description of Joan's playing. Not pretty or fancy - just straightforward and satisfying. The "Melody Maker" style of guitar she plays was introduced by Gibson to be the absolute cheapest thing they could make. Of course, now you can buy a Joan Jett Signature model for a little over $1000.

"Burgers and Fries" appeal to the masses

Ive posted Lucy Thomas before and remarked she is a real star in the making

Here she is singing Bridge over Troubled Water and she does a very good cover of Simon and Garfunkel

It's hard to know how good singers are these days unless you see them live and in person.
