I remember just TOTALLY not getting 'em at the time (I was pretty young...this was mid 70's). But MAN...lookin at this now...you can just COUNT the number of influences these guys cast onto the wave of music that followed.

I saw them in 73, I think, I can't remember... New York Dolls played the Aragon Ballroom. I never heard of them and was invited by friends. My ears rung three days after I heard them in concert . . . impression of them was, they were different and loud.
