Iconic rocker Joan Jett will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame on April 19 and she has revealed that it's a shame there aren't more women involved in the heavier side of the music world. 

Speaking to Billboard magazine, the pioneer explained that she wishes more women could be inducted and that there were more female rock bands around today:

"There should be more women in the Hall of Fame, and more women in rock. They're out there, they just don't get the notice the pop girls do. Go to any city and there's an all-girl rock band -- it's just a matter of society wanting to hear that kind of music. But people's tastes change, so you have to just do what you love and hope other people love it too."

Jett also revealed the one piece of advice she would give her younger self: "If I could go back and give my 15-year-old self some advice, I'd say to document what you go through. The Runaways have few photos or video. I don't think teenagers think that far ahead. I didn't think about the future or 'When will I retire?' I still haven't thought about that. Other people keep going, so obviously I can."
