Satanosphere, the Archives || Comments || Go Ahead PUNK, Make My Day...

I guess glam is not nescessarily metal, even though the Doll are responsible for giving us Hanoi Rocks, W.A.S.P. (Blackie Lawless actually played in a Dolls reunion line-up,) Ratt, and countless other pretty mispellers. I actually saw a 1972 LA concert (that you can rent at Rainy Day if you are Olycentric) where Johansen actually referred to them as a punk group. Nonetheless, I have to beg to differ on the albums punkness. Todd Rundgren horribly over-produced the album so that it sounds almost like his own art pop group Utopia.

Oddly, I do things other places.

I'm kinda borderline on this one myself, but I do shove the Dolls into the punk category, if for no reason than they predated the Ramones, crossed paths with a lot of luminaries, alienated the cock-rock establishment, and had the balls to dress up in women's clothing while gleefully going out with the most beautiful women in New York during their tenure. That's just great. And, come on, "Personality Crisis"...

But your over-production notes on Todd are, as Don Yates would have said, "an excellent point." I still love the record, though.
