The prototype for punk rock, a New York City hard rock band with crude musicianship and glam 

attire that influenced countless groups.  The New York Dolls created punk rock before 

there was a term for it. Building on the Rolling Stones' dirty rock & roll, Mick Jagger's androgyny, 

girl group pop, the Stooges' anarchic noise, and the glam rock of David Bowie and T. Rex, 

The New York Dolls created a new form of hard rock that presaged both punk rock and heavy metal. 

Their drug-fueled, shambolic performances influenced a generation of musicians in New York and London, 

who all went on to form punk bands. And although they self-destructed quickly, 

the band's first two albums remain among the most popular cult records in rock & roll history

When the New York Dolls released their debut album in 1973, they managed to be named both 

"Best New Band" and "Worst Band" in Creem Magazine's annual reader's poll, and it usually takes 

something special to polarize an audience like that. And the Dolls were inarguably special -- decades after its release, 

New York Dolls still sounds thoroughly unique, a gritty, big-city amalgam of Stones-style R&B, hard rock guitars, 

lyrics that merge pulp storytelling with girl group attitude, and a sloppy but brilliant attack that would 

inspire punk rock (without the punks ever getting its joyous slop quite right).

And while New York Dolls clearly came from a very specific time and place, 

this album still sounds fresh and hasn't dated in the least -- this is one of rock's greatest debut albums, 

and a raucous statement of purpose that's still bold and thoroughly engaging...(AllMusic)
