Joan Jett,born Joan Marie Larkin on September 22, 1960, is an American rock guitarist, singer, producer, actress, and former member of The Runaways who performs with her band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
The majority of her music is recorded with her band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Only two albums, “Bad Reputation” and “The Hit List” were released as solo material.
By playing pure and simple rock & roll without making an explicit issue of her gender, Joan Jett became a figurehead for several generations of female rockers.
The following was taken from the VH-1 website, credit is given to the original writer at the end:
Jett’s brand of rock & roll is loud and stripped-down, yet with overpowering hooks — a combination of the Stones’ tough, sinewy image and beat, AC/DC chords, and glam rock hooks. As the numerous covers she has recorded show, she adheres both to rock tradition and breaks with it — she plays classic three-chord rock & roll, yet she also loves the trashy elements (in particular, Gary Glitter) of it as well, and she plays with a defiant sneer. From her first band, the Runaways, through her hit-making days in the ’80s with the Blackhearts right until her unexpected revival in the ’90s, she hasn’t changed her music, yet she’s kept her quality control high, making one classic single (“I Love Rock ‘n Roll”) along the way.

For the sake of proper tagging, is there REALLY a difference between 'Joan Jett' and 'Joan Jett and The Blackhearts'? Everything I have is the latter, but Last is recommending 'Joan Jett' to me as if there's a difference.
