NEW YORK DOLLS "night of the living dolls" 1985...from the Music Head vinyl library
my only exposure to these guys other than seeing them at the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is the few little titbits on tv rockumentaries, their music seemed alright and at least it does fall into what i would term "real punk" so on it went.....
this one, thankfully, is a compilation of their only real two studio albums from the 1970s and not some half-arsed attempt at a 1980's comeback...the music is full of raw energy and passion and the vocals are quite angst ridden...almost to the same standard of the Sex Pistols!!, it did however rate 2.3 for me which borders the "love" rating...hey, i cant help it if i have a thing for real punk!, MH however seemed to err on the side of caution IMO by giving it 1.9 but he still liked it.
one track on here called "babylon" i loved and MH didnt like it...when i told him my rating for the track he gave me that "you've got to be joking" look??? LOL...thats cool,its all opinion anyway!
but again...their first two albums are now on my "buy" list
from the album the links are for the two tracks we rated as favourites:
