Exploding from the Lower East Side of the early ’70s, the New York Dolls were unlike anything the rock 'n' roll establishment had seen or heard. Between Johnny Thunders' full-frontal guitar assault and flamboyant frontman David Johansen's Staten Island-accented, gender-bending attitude, the Dolls were a sleazier Stones in eyeliner. Their searing, snarky treatises on modern life set the stage for the punk scene yet to come. Biting, sarcastic, and revolutionary, must-hear classics like "Trash," "Personality Crisis," and "Looking for a Kiss" still sting…hard.
