For a rock and roll-obsessed teenager in the early-to-mid-1980s, picking up the first two New York Dolls albums was like stumbling across a pair of travel brochures from an enchanting destination that no longer existed. Whenever I visited my dad in New York City I could still traverse the same filthy lower Manhattan sidewalks that had birthed such Dolls classics as “Trash” and “Looking for a Kiss,” and I could still hitch a ride on the IRT or the BMT or whatever line it was that inspired the soulful screech of “Subway Train.” But the wiseass warmth and confetti-spraying exuberance that saturated 1973’s “New York Dolls” and 1974’s “Too Much Too Soon” seemed in desperately short supply in NYC circa 1984 (to say nothing of its depressing absence from Reagan’s America in general).

MC5 as the dog whistles that roused first-generation punk rock into action. Consider the cultural context into which the Dolls came strutting in 1973: James Taylor is topping the charts, and Richard Nixon is in the White House, as rock bands too stoned to add the “‘n’ roll” to the music’s name played interminable guitar and drum solos to packed arenas. What happened to the flash and excitement of “Basically, what we wanted out of music was something simple, powerful and sexy, topped with a hook that would just drive you crazy,” Sylvain told this writer in a 1997 interview that ran in a New York Dolls oral history for ....
