Glammed-out punkers the New York Dolls didn't last long enough to top their debut. Produced by Todd Rundgren, songs such as "Personality Crisis" and "Bad Girl" drip with sleaze and style. The band snatches riffs from Chuck Berry and Fats Domino and fattens them with loads of attitude and reverb.

Total album sales: Under 500,000
