Customer Reviews:
THE RUNAWAYS WERE ONE OF THE FIRST TEENAGE FEMALE ROCK BANDS EVER!.......2006-12-29
What can I say about these great songs on this legendary compilation album and the legendary band that recorded them all those years ago that hasn't already been said? It would be inappropriate for me to write a review on many of the great female rockers without mentioning THE RUNAWAYS! And just think, I still have to write reviews on the great Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Lita Ford and Blondie! When then teenage female unknowns Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Cherie Currie, Jackie Fox and Sandy West got together and formed THE RUNAWAYS, there was NO LOOKING BACK! This band was actually one of the very first teenage female rockers that played their own instruments! In reality, THIS BAND KICKED A*S AND KNEW HOW TO ROCK! It wasn't until they met a*sho*e manager hustler Kim Fowley that THE RUNAWAYS were showing signs of LIFE! In my opinion, "THE BEST OF THE RUNAWAYS" is an outstanding compilation and is a true testament of the sheer genius of a great band that was indeed ahead of their time. Every single song track in this compilation album is great!
I will list and briefly review all the song tracks in their original exact running order as follows: (1.) "Cherry Bomb," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! A great Rocker! A Joan Jett/Kim Fowley composition! Currie sings this song with such anger that she actually convinces you that she is going to kick your a*s! This song kicks a*s! I love it!) (2.) "Blackmail," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! Currie kicks a*s on Lead Vocals! By this time, Joan Jett and Lita Ford were already showing signs of playing some mean blistering guitars! I love it!) (3.) "Secrets," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! This song kicks a*s as well! I love it dearly!) (4.) "I Love Playin' With fire," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! One of Joan Jett's first compositions! Joan sings and plays the guitar with such emotion and grace that she leaves you begging for more!) (5.) "Born To Be Bad," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! Currie sings this song like she really means it! The guitar riff arrangements by both Jett and Ford tear the roof off the house! I love it!) (6.) "Take It Or Leave It," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! This song kicks a*s as well! Jett's and Ford's blistering merciless guitar riffs combined with Jett's blistering Lead Vocals create a great rocker! This is another great song I love dearly!) (7.) "Queens Of Noise," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! This song truly kicks some serious a*s! I love Jett's and Ford's blistering merciless guitar playing in this one!) (8.) "You Drive Me Wild," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! Jett and Ford rock the house down in this one! I love this one dearly!) (9.) "Neon Angels On The Road To Ruin," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! This song kicks a*s! I still can't believe that this is actually a teenage female band rockin' and kickin' a*s!) (10.) "Wasted," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! This song kicks a*s as well! Jett's and Ford's blistering merciless guitar playing show's how its done in this one! Joan's rough Lead Vocals can send goose bumps up your spine! I love it!) (11.) "Wait For Me" (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! Jett's and Ford's blistering guitar playing shows no mercy in this number! Jett's blistering Lead Vocals saves grace in the band in place of the now departed Currie! I love this song dearly!) and (12.) "Waitin' For The Night." (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great RUNAWAYS ROCKER! I love this song! Jett's and Ford's blistering guitar playing can have your ears ringing for days! I love it dearly!) Overall, this is ONE HELL OF A A*S KICKING ALBUM! Every single song track is nothing less than outstanding and brilliant!
As you can see, this is definitely one treasure album worth purchasing that he or she should definitely own as a valuable and important part of his or her personal music collection. This priceless gem will always be around to be enjoyed and cherished for many more years to come, NOW AND FOREVER!
In closing, its just too bad that THE RUNAWAYS disbanded in 1979, this was a great band that STILL had so much to give! However, THE RUNAWAYS legend does not end in 1979! Female rockers Joan Jett and Lita Ford would light up the Rock n' Roll world and would entertain us further with their spectacular solo careers! Cherie Currie would wind up recording a solo album with her sister Marie and take up a career in acting. Believe it or not, Bass player Jackie Fox would end up going to Harvard Law School and wind up being a successful entertainment Lawyer! WOW! Sandy West would wind up being a bounty collector which means she would collect money for loan sharks! WOW! I would sure hate to piss her off! And last but not least, the replacement Bass player for the departed Jackie Fox whose name is Vicki Blue A.K.A. Victory Tischler-Blue! She would eventually pursue a career behind the camera in film and TV. Sadly, it was Blue that had the unfortunate bout with seizures that would freak the band out and be one of the contributing factors that would lay THE RUNAWAYS to rest! VERY UNFAIR! However, Blue would film a documentary entitled Edgeplay, The story of THE RUNAWAYS! this film was made with the full cooperation of the band with the exception of Joan Jett! Come on Joan, lets hear your side of the story! I know you have alot to say! THE RUNAWAYS, without a doubt, has left a legecy of great songs behind and is a true legendary band that will NEVER be forgotten! Here's to you my darling RUNAWAYS queen's! Keep the faith! A LATE NOTE: I was saddened to hear about the recent death of former RUNAWAYS Drummer Sandy West! She passed away on 21 October 2006 after a long battle with Cancer! Another tragic loss for Rock n' Roll! R.I.P. my sweet Sandy West 1959-2006. We will all miss you! Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. THE RUNAWAYS RULES! Long Live Rock n' Roll! Rock out always and take care. Forever in Rock, J.L.
The Runaways The Best Of The Runaways.......2006-07-08
So they not the GO-GOs, but they were great.......2005-09-06
I have most of theirs lps. The best lineup was the original ones that where the best music was played Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West, Cherie Currie and the best for last Jackie Fox.
I highly recommend this cd for those who need to hear the best all-girl rock band ever.
It's nice that they were at least acknowledged..........2005-06-23
