Wow, I had to fight my way in here with all the replies. Loved first few Quatro albums (and she's Joan's biggest influence musically & visually for many years till she cut off her hair & bleached it blonde in mid-90's) but Jett with or w/o the Blackhearts + Runaways - S/T, has put out more records that I dig vs her mentor. Suzi ended up doing really cheesy Disco-pop stuff after her amazing Glam-period. That was probably on the advice of manager, Mike Chapman, but horrible career move.

Joan Jett,same reasons as John,although I only really like the first Suzi lp,the second is ok and then the odd good single.

Suzi Quatro is playing here in May,I'm kinda tempted,but it's expensive and could go either way and I feel it could go the wrong way.

Yeah, I thought this was kind of a no-brainer (hence the lack of responses). Suzi ain't in the same league, despite having come first.

Gotta agree with this; I've only heard one Suzi full-length and it was supposed to be one of her best and it didn't make much of an impression whereas I love The Runaways and the first few Joan Jett/Blackhearts albums.
