The Runaways [Mercury, 1976]
Don't let misguided notions of feminism, creative convolutions, or the idea that punk rock should transcend ordinary musical ideas suck you in--this is Kim Fowley's project, which means it is tuneless and wooden as well as exploitative. How on Earth the man can hang around El Lay this long without copping a lick or two defies comprehension. The answer must lie in sheer perversity, which in of itself makes for the one truly perverse thing about the man. C-

Didn't know yet that Fowley was actually a rapist who drugged and raped one of the Runaways.

I actually agree with him here. The Runaways would be completely forgotten if not for the solo careers some of their members would later have.

They took themselves as serious musicians though Fowley obviously didn't and wanted to promote them as a novelty braless jailbait act.
