[GoogaMooga]

I might pick up the New York Dolls CD, even though the current line-up only features two of the original members.

The Dolls Album is great fun!

Dance Like A Monkey and Gotta Stay Away From Tommy are my favorites so far. (It's been open for about 45 minutes, so my opinion might change )
