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.
overall not a bad release. still, it doesn't hold one candle to the magic of "Bad Reputation".
