Ashlee’s Eighties Front Women Rockers Three Tune Tuesday For June 3rd!

Welcome back to Three Tune Tuesday 🔥 Rockin’ the Classics this week with Eighties front women rockers! These tracks are pure nostalgia with timeless energy.

Bad Reputation – Joan Jett

Kicking things off is Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” a raw, unapologetic middle finger to anyone who dares judge. Released in 1980, this punk-rock gem is all about owning your edge and not giving a damn about the haters. Jett’s gritty vocals and that chugging guitar riff scream rebellion, making it the ultimate anthem for anyone who’s ever been underestimated or misunderstood. It’s no wonder this track still blasts through speakers at dive bars and road trips alike—its defiance is eternal, and Joan Jett remains the queen of not caring what you think.

Mental Hopscotch – Missing Persons

Next up, we’re hopping into the quirky, synth-soaked world of Missing Persons with “Mental Hopscotch” from 1980. This new wave classic is like a neon fever dream, blending Dale Bozzio’s playful, elastic vocals with Terry Bozzio’s intricate drumming and those wild, futuristic synths. The song’s offbeat energy and cryptic lyrics feel like a mind-bending game, pulling you into its kaleidoscopic vibe. It’s the perfect dose of ’80s weirdness that makes you want to tease your hair, throw on some geometric earrings, and dance like nobody’s watching.

Love Is a Battlefield – Pat Benatar

Closing out this week’s trio is Pat Benatar’s “Love Is a Battlefield,” a 1983 masterpiece that turns romance into an epic war cry. With its pulsing beat, dramatic synths, and Benatar’s powerhouse vocals, this song captures the raw emotion of love’s highs and lows. The iconic music video—complete with shoulder pads and that choreographed dance—cemented its place in ’80s pop culture. It’s a reminder that love can be messy, fierce, and worth fighting for, and Benatar delivers every line like she’s storming the front lines. Crank it up and feel the battle in your soul.
