Free Music Review: New York Dolls 2nd Album rocks!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'd heard talk about a band from the 70's named New York Dolls, referred to as the seminal punk glam band, also credited as a major influence for Slash and Izzy of Guns N' Roses, one of my favorite bands. I ordered this CD having never heard any of their music, only knowing of David Johansen as the 80's Buster Poindexter and the cab driver in the movie Scrooged.
This music rocks! It's easy to see where the glam hair bands of the 80's got their roots listening to New York Dolls, but it's so much more than that. New York Dolls were doing something completely new at the time. The music is raw, and somewhat rough, but full of energy. There's plenty of self-deprecating humor in their music, refreshing in a world where a lot of bands take themselves way too seriously.
After listening to this for a few days I ordered their first album, New York Dolls, and their live/studio album, Hard Nights Day. This is a great place to discover the influences that helped form the 80's and 90's rock/punk/glam scene.
