The Dolls were one of the main progenitors of the New York punk scene. They took their cue from The Stooges among others. But it was their visual style that influenced many of the new wave bands that emerged in the 80s as well as put the glam in glam rock. Their self-titled debut which was released in 1973 was a fusion of protopunk, rock and roll and as obvious from the album cover, glam rock.
Some critics believe that the New York Dolls’ contribution has been overstated. Arguably this could’ve been the result of the lipstick and mascara that perhaps either overshadowed or distracted attention away from the music. Such a perception is still widely held of glam metal bands as having more hairspray than attitude. But by the time the Dolls disbanded in 1975, the scene they helped formed was burgeoning and had spawned the likes of Ramones (quite rightfully considered one of the pioneering punk acts in the world), Blondie and Television.
Musically and stylistically, New York Dolls left their mark on acts as diverse as KISS, Motley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses and even the Smiths and Japan.
