Sound
Emerging from the artsy NYC underground in the wake of the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls played a kind of thrashy, R&B-based; hard-rock that was initially dismissed as an imitation of The Rolling Stones. Their music, however, incorporated many other influences, including the Girl Group sounds of the early 1960s, especially The Shangri-Las and The Ronettes.Official Site: Band InfoLook
It wasn't only the band's music that contained a strong female influence, they also wore women's clothing. They did not impersonate women but rather incorporated glamorous attire as feather boas and pumps with men's clothing. The look has been cited as the source of glam rock's obsession with androgyny, which reached mass appeal in the 1980s.Official Site: Band Info-
