The New York Dolls became the blueprint for a lot of Punk bands that would follow; they had the dirty androgynous glam look with the crash-and-burn sound of rebellious Rock and Roll. Although they did not stay on the scene past two albums, a couple of years later would see bands emerge in both the New York and London scene who borrowed a lot from the brief but tumultuous band. As original Punk disciples, they will fall into the category of The Stooges and MC5 as bands with limited lives but long-lasting influence. Still, their chances are fairly decent, and as long as a Proto Punk or Punk outfit keeps getting nominated every year, the Dolls have a good shot to be that representative.
