New york dolls
One day it will please us to remember even this

The verdict: Even after all these years, The New York Dolls can still rock. These original glam punkers are one of the groups credited for fathering punk rock. While only Sylvain and Johansen remain, they do an excellent job adding more positive history to the band, rather than the standard embarassing revival album that most groups of this age find themselves releasing. Johnny Thunders' guitars aren't there, are instead of trying to replace him in order to recapture history (which would be impossible), they let themselves evolve into having a different sound, that is still distinctly the New York Dolls.

standout tracks: "Plenty of Music" and "Gotta Get Away From Tommy"
