Who doesn't love the band, The Runaways. This was one of the very first all-girl rock groups that spawned the career of Joan Jett. Lita Ford was the lead guitarist for The Runaways. She joined the band in 1975 when she was 16-years old. The band broke up in 1977, after conflicts over musical direction. Joan Jett wanted more of a Ramones-influenced sound while the rest wanted a hard rock style.

Lita Ford's debut solo album was in 1983 and entitled, Out for Blood. it was kind of a commercial flop. But Ford gained momentum when her third album rolled around: Dancin' on the Edge. Way to rock - Lita Ford!
