SE 5, EP 14: The New York Dolls - The New York Dolls

Send us Fan Mail On this week's episode, we discuss the self-titled debut by the New York Dolls, one of most influential albums of the 1970s. The New York Dolls blended the Rolling Stones' swagger with garage rock aggression and glam rock theatrics, that both embraced the sounds of early rock and roll and foreshadowed punk rock. Produced in what seems like an unusual hands-off approach by Todd Rundgren, The New York Dolls presents the band with minimal polish. Its full of high energy songs about teenage angst, heartbreak, sex, drugs, and city life played with sloppy abandon. The New York Dolls is a blast from the get go and is must listen for anyone into punk, glam, or just plain good ol' rock & roll. Visit us at
