LEANNE KINGWELL: AUSTRALIAN FOR 'ROCK!' -- Plus some tipological listologic from the Gooze
That's Leanne Kingwell, on Australian ROVE Live TV, in primetime a couple days back, DD was informed. Kingwell, hailing from Kilda, which I think is a bit like Venice in SoCal, except with the seasons reversed, was recommended in "So you have bad taste." [Excerpts from the show on YouTube, here.]
And the title was a joke on the phenom of New Times firing the Village Voice's music editor over "matters of taste."
But back to Kingwell's album, Show Ya What, on her own Krill rekkids:
On the back of words like these, plus reviews from others from the Voice who thought she was very keen, Kingwell garnered college radio airplay in the US. And subsequent to that, interest picked up in Australia, resulting in a new distribution deal for the album and the appearance on ROVE live.
And you can find the album of which I speak plus lots more, here. Now, if she'll send a burned DVD o' that . . .
Plus, the Gooze checks in with his "Greatest Albums of All Time," parts 1 and 2.
It's seventy to eighty percent of what I'd pick for select hard rock from the 70's and 80's. For my spin, you need a little more Texas. (See Point Blank. )
And selections from it were pickings for the "Sludge in the 70's" college radio show at WLVR-FM at Lehigh University, about twenty years back.
Turbonegro, however, were not worth the dust the wind might blow in their faces, as opined here and here.
I also would've pushed Status Quo Live and Slade Alive! into the Top 50.

But back to Kingwell's album, Show Ya What, on her own Krill rekkids:
"Show Ya What" has many choices for singles. Leanne goes to hell where she wrote a book in "Look At My Life" and pistol whips her cheating ex in "Holding Your Gun." She loses a beau to swinging Tommy James and the Shondells chords in "So Long" and bawls emotion as a relationship crashes in "Blind," the latter with bonus tear-jerking organ by Chris Copping of Procol Harum who did it all for a bottle of red wine.

As I said, the list really isn't in any order, and indeed Status Quo Live coulda been in the first 50. It was basically a stream of consciousness list, where I just tried to diversify the bands. I'm sure I missed plenty...Point Blank included. Make that one #101.
As for Turbonegro, have you heard Apocalypse Dudes? Some of their earlier stuff may be crap, but that album, man, it rocks!! They even stole Dictator riffs!!
