Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars The New York Dolls refused to play CBGB's.......2005-03-18

Yes but they are on this compalation. The New York Dolls are not punk and neither are the velvet underground. The new york dolls are a rock and roll band the velvet underground are a experimental rock and roll band. to call them punk is embarrising i think punk is the most overated thing ever. Like good music stop labling the New York Dolls never labled themselves punk and hated it pretty much hence the song lonon boys.

4 out of 5 stars Probably THE best intro to American punk.......2002-05-28

The best & most surprising thing about this comp is what's included. Essential garage bands such as the Seeds, the Sonics and 13th Floor Elevators- usually limited to "Pebbles" style 60s punk samplers- are finally included on this "official" history along side the Velvets, the Stooges, the Dolls and the Ramones.
