I was 14 years old and this album rocked my world. New York Dolls.

It's like a time capsule for me.
Rough as feck but absolutely joyous.
Oh for 1973...
The bonus was my dad hated it and thought I'd lost my marbles. :grin:

    I had the single, the B side was "Vietnamese Baby".
    Most punters did not appreciate me putting it on the pub juke box at the time     ;)

    They were an important band in the grand scheme of things.

    The Dolls were great. David Johansen was a fantastic lyricist. Second album is really good tool.

    Big respect for the Dolls, I like some music to sound on the verge of collapsing, which it does. One small nitpick, I wish that they were that shambolic on purpose but it no biggie. There's a few other contemporary acts that were equally clueless about just why they were great, or they were tyring to hit a different target altogether (and failing, gloriously). Love it.
    Ten years too late and still getting it wrong

    Didn't one of their guitars end up in the hands of Steve Jones?
