Raw Power by the Stooges and New York Dolls first LP were both released in 1973 and IMO 2 of the best albums ever created.

To think the Dolls supported the Stooges in 1973! That must have been one hell of a concert. Great footage of a group that was mocked mercilessly in their short lifetime, but has cast a long shadow since then.

I saw them live in Buffalo in...2007, i think? At the Town Ballroom for Little Steven's Underground Garage Show...i was twisted on oxymorph, weed, and whatever the hell i was drinking from the bar. Played right after The Supersuckers (another awesome fuckin' rock band!) and even then being as old as they were they rocked the place! I've gotten clean since then with zero regrets, but that is and will always be one of my best concert memories.

a magnificent personality crisis, home-made ny style.

The definition of Hot Mess right here. For anyone who disputes that Punk was born in the US, the New York Dolls were the direct predecessors to, and inspiration for, the Sex Pistols, having been managed for a short time (pre-Sex) by Malcolm McLaren at the end of their run, before their spectacular implosion. McLaren took the essence of the NY Dolls and immediately set out to create their successor in the Sex Pistols, albeit louder, angrier, and even more self-destructive. The Pistols' run lasted about half that of the Dolls before their implosion at the height of their success. Without the NY Dolls, there would NEVER have been any Sex Pistols, and the UK Punk scene (which, I will concede, was by far the creative superior to the early US Punk scene, pre-Hardcore 76-79) would never have happened.
