New York Dolls: New York Dolls
Genre: Punk/Glam Rock	Dates: 1973

All the Dolls wanted to be were the American Rolling Stones. But because they were sloppier, less serious, living in Manhattan, and far less pure, they missed—fortunately for us. The result was uniquely American: loud, trashy, glamorous, full of contradictions and complicated fast times. Their total output was two records, but without them, Aerosmith, '80s hairband hard rock, and even the Sex Pistols (with whom they shared a manager and whose guitarist lifted Johnny Thunders' six-string paroxyms whole for half his style) would have been unthinkable.
