The Runaways [Mercury, 1976]

Don't let misguided feminism, critical convolutions, or the notion that good punk rock transcends ordinary musicality tempt you. This is Kim Fowley's project, which means that it is tuneless and wooden as well as exploitative. How anyone can hang around El Lay this long without stealing a hook or two defies logic. The answer must be sheer perversity, which in of itself makes for the only truly perverse thing about the man. C-

Queens of Noise [Mercury, 1977]

I'll tell you what kind of street noise these bimbos make--when the title cut came on, I thought I was hearing "Evita" twice, only I kept wondering why the singer wasn't in tune. C-

Waitin' for the Night [Mercury, 1977]

This band surprised me live--nowhere near as willing to pander sexually as their publicity suggests, and Kim Fowley contributes his first decent tune since "Alley Oop". If anyone does guitar-waving rock, I'd just as soon that it be girls. But Joan Jett's inability to bellow through the wall of noise (she shrieks flatly instead) suggests that there are more generous musical role models for human beings of all sexes than Aerosmith. C+

The Best of the Runaways [Mercury, 1982]

Forget the title--if Kim Fowley knew how to make a decent Joan Jett album, he would have done the deed in 1976. C-

I tried listening to them. No they are not good. In fact they're quite amazingly bad especially the singing.

>>68380394
well, that's punk rock

There are a lot of mainstream female rock/pop artists,

Bjork, Grimes, Swift, Olsen, Holter,

Kim Fowley was a fucking major creep, asshat, and rapist. Thankfully he's now in Hell.
