Their first album is an absolutely awesome piece of rock and roll.

Half or more of the original lineup are dead.

Gotta love that first Dolls album.

I wouldn't say the Sex Pistols ripped them off at all. In fact Rotten couldn't stand them, but there was a connection, in the fact that Malcolm McLaren was involved in the Dolls management in their later days.

Now as far as bands who were inspired by the Dolls, here's another band from NYC who intitially ripped off the Dolls look before they figured out their own makeup.......
