The favorite band of my ex wife. When I came to NYC in 2017 we had one of those whirlwind romances and she was very eager to get married to a Canadian because it was at the peak of lib panic about the cheeto in chief. We married after two months of dating and then started discovering that we had basically nothing in common. I really liked her but pretending I was into her artistic pretensions (she's an artist) and tastes grew even more tedious than some of the other annoying things about her. I distinctly remember sitting down to listen to the New York Dolls and thinking "this is the most boring **** I've ever heard."
IMO they're just another Kiss: visually strong with zero good songs.
