I came across the New York Dolls via David Johansen’s solo work.  They were glam, punk, art and hard rockers before most of it even had a name.  Still love this album.  The first notes of Personality Crisis hit hard, and it never lets up,  but in a fun way.  Gotta go back and listen to Johanssen’s live stuff again, though lots of it is Dolls covers.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.
