!!The Original Two Albums
* ''[[SelfTitledAlbum New York Dolls]]'' (1973)
* ''Too Much Too Soon'' (1974)
!!The Compilations
During TheEighties, as the ex-Dolls pursued solo careers and their mystique continued to grow, several semi-official collections of demos and live tapes were released by a variety of small labels. Most of these had alternate versions of songs from the original albums, but some (notably ''Red Patent Leather'' and ''Seven Day Weekend'') had previously unreleased {{Cover Version}}s. The most interesting of these might be ''Actress: Birth of the New York Dolls'', an album's worth of otherwise unavailable originals by Actress, an early version of the band.
!!The Post-Reunion Albums
These are the albums the Dolls have released since their reunion in 2004.
* ''One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This'' (2006)
* '''Cause I Sez So'' (2009)
* ''Dancing Backward in High Heels'' (2011)

*LivingEmotionalCrutch: Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan were very much this to one another. They spent most of their adult lives together, played in most of the same bands, and, according to friend/rock photographer Leee Black Childers, Johnny would break down emotionally during spats with Jerry. He would lay with his head in Childers' lap and say, "Where’s Jerry? I can’t live without him, I can’t work without him, I can’t be without him." At Johnny's funeral, Jerry was inconsolable and said, "What am I going to do? My best friend is dead. My soulmate has gone." He died only a few months after Johnny, and they were buried very near one another in the same cemetery.
