Women Who Rock: The '80s
Apple Music
The '80s saw hairstyles go higher and fashion spiral out of control. Even music wore shoulder pads. Beats hit harder. Ballads became power ballads. New artists — Pretenders, Bangles, Go-Go's — recalled classic pop/rock. Tracy Chapman explored folk-rock. Veterans Debbie Harry, Stevie Nicks and Bonnie Raitt broke new ground. Joan Jett and Lita Ford left the Runaways for solo careers.
