Free Music Notes for New York Dolls
Free Music Review: Can you Believe this was the early 70's!
Hit: 5 Stars
This was an album I had to hide from my mom. With a cover of 5 tough looking transvestites, to the rather racy and cheezy inner record jacket, this could be very confusing to us adolescent boys. Enough of that; this IS a seminal album of the seventies. This is in your face -- smashmouth rock, that should embarass any heavy metal act today. Rousing guitar work, high energy drums and bass, and some surprisingly good melodies make up this classic piece. This is the dark side of the early seventies, as evidenced by "Looking for a Kiss", which has the refrain "Looking for a fix". "Vietnamese Baby" is probably one of the understated rock classics of the era. "Frankenstein" makes Edgar Winter's song of the same name sound like elevator music. Finally, "Jet Boy" is a rousing anthem of harmonies and buzz guitar that begs one to turn it up to "11". Rarely do I subscribe to the normal hype on albums, but this one deserves it.Free Music Review: Buy it, just buy it...Thank me later..

Ok, heres a rub. I have the ORIGINAL VINYL tucked away very carefully. BOTH albums are in PERFECT condition....Pulled both out the other night, looked over the album jackets, yes I have those too, and cranked up the ole B&O turntable. My Polk Audio LSi-15s screamed out Bad Detective, as I was taken back to the summer of my youth......I loved these guys back then, and I still love them now. Ahead of thier time. Glad to hear the last surviving members, (2), played @ the Filmore the other night. From the press release they received a warm and well deserved welcome back....
Buy it, just buy it....You youngsters out there, sick of all the crap out there? Take a tip from a Geezer, heres what it was really like back when the music wasnt dead & lipsynchers were laughed off stage......
Free Music Review: One of the most influential albums ever.
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this because I have been reading "Please Kill Me" and the New York Dolls are a doomed group just waiting to break up, but still they are the beginning of punk. I had to buy this CD.It's amazing! Echoes of every band that you've ever loved from the Replacements to Husker Du to glam rock to punk to grunge (which is really just post-punk). The influence spread out and engulfed modern music. Listening to this CD is like reading Nietzche for the first time. At once familiar and unique, you are listening to the source. You have heard this music before only you have heard its imitators.
Every song is great but "Personality Crisis", "Looking for a Kiss" and "Jet Boy" are way cool!

Alot has been said about this album. Usually, you hear words like 'trashy', 'sleazy' and 'sloppy' banded about when describing it. The band definitely played with these elements in the creation of their sound and image. The more you listen to them, however, the more you understand just how amazingly stylish and sophisticated they really were. Technically, they weren't perfect or polished players, but they had mastered their instruments to a level that more than sufficed and by this point in history it was clear that technique was only one ingredient in the art of music. If Glam Rock was about style over substance, then the Dolls were a perfect balance between the two, often accomplishing a sum greater than the parts.Free Music Review: We Must All Begin Somewhere

This album is the place to begin. I first heard it some twenty-five years ago and said.... when do the solos end, meaning, When does Johnny finish? Do his solos ever GET TO THE POINT? Or beyond one note? Little did I know that that his style would influence me beyond any other.His solos would become a joy--what Kris Needs called his cliff-hanging terror. His simple perfection.This is seminal stuff. As influencial (among those who matter) as any record of the last 25 years, this sings, in fact, it sneers. Jerry Nolan shows what the backbeat is about---holding his loaded, image-obsessed, YOUNG comrades together.This IS rock and roll. Buy it to know that Brittany didn't invent it. (Blech.)
