I was cranking Pat Benatar earlier today and man - she really knew how to rock!

I know she wasn't metal and not even really hard rock.

But man - she was a rocker! I need to get more of her stuff. I only have a greatest hits album right now.

Any other fans?

Great voice. 'Love is a Battlefield' was one of the first songs I ever remember distinctly liking, back when I were a wee OCI.

What are your favorite albums?

I was never quite moved enough to make a purchase, partially because some of the lines in her stuff are....wow, oh so cheesy in that uncomfortable, Stryper kind of way. But I'm relieved when her stuff comes on the radio if it's on.

Pat Benatar is the reason I discovered John Mellancamp.

I loved the song "I Need A Lover" from the In The Heat Of The Night Album so I sought out the original version. The rest is history; I own everything Mellancamp has ever done.

I am huge Pat Benatar fan, and if you are looking for studio albums outside of comp CD's, 'In the Heat of the Night' and 'Crimes of Passion' are excellent slabs of the late 70's hard rock.

Agree - great place to start!

Ahhhh, Patty. She was my first "MTV Crush" back in the early 80s... when MTV first went on the air they played her vids almost constantly. She was so freakin' hot. And, as noted earlier, she could sing her a## off.

I think I'll pick both of those up on my next shopping spree! Thanks for the advice!

I absolutely love her. I remember getting into her and Joan Jett back in elementary school and middle school, when I first began to get into music. She has a great voice, and I remember thinking she was really attractive. I also had a bit of a crush on her. It helped that one of my best friends in middle school had an older sister that looked AND dressed like her (and whose name was Patsy). I used to make up excuses just to go to his house!

Agree on "In the Heat of the Night" and "Crimes of Passion" are probably her best, but I would add "Precious Time" in there too... and actually, I always liked "Get Nervous". She was definitely trying to record a record different than her earlier ones, but I think she still keeps that strong melodic element that keeps marching bands everywhere re-interpreting her songs.

Pat rocks and yes she is Hard Rock..When I hear Pat the first thing I take note of his how amazing Neil "Spyder" Giraldo was with his guitar work. Perfect match...

I have always wanted to see Pat live. She has always been a truly fantastic singer, imo.

Pat can still belt it. A year or two ago my wife and I watched her on an episode of CMT's "Crossroads" where she performed live with Martina McBride and not only did Pat still look great, she still kicked a$$.
