That was fun! Made me think of this one for some reason:

Artist: New York Dolls
Album: New York Dolls
Song: "Pills"
Songwriter: Bo Diddley (1961 single)
July 27, 1973 Mercury Records





Quote:Ellas McDaniel (born Ellas Otha Bates, December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008), known as Bo Diddley, was an American singer, guitarist, songwriter and music producer who played a key role in the transition from the blues to rock and roll. He influenced many, many artists, including Elvis Presley, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Clash. Bo Diddley's final guitar performance on a studio album was with the New York Dolls on their 2006 album One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This.

Quote:In 1971, vocalist David Johansen formed the New York Dolls with guitarists Johnny Thunders and Rick Rivets, bassist Arthur Kane, and drummer Billy Murcia; Rivets was replaced by Sylvain Sylvain in 1972. The band was meant to be a temporary project for the members, who were club-going youths that had gone to New York City with different career pursuits. As Sylvain recalled, "We just said 'Hey, maybe this will get us some chicks.' That seemed like a good enough reason." He and Murcia originally planned to work in the clothing business and opened a boutique on Lexington Avenue that was across the street from a toy repair shop called the New York Dolls Hospital, which gave them the idea for their name. The group soon began playing regularly in lower Manhattan and earned a cult following within a few months with their reckless style of rock music. Nonetheless, record companies were hesitant to sign them because of their onstage cross-dressing and blatant vulgarity. New York Dolls is the 1973 debut studio album by the American hard rock band New York Dolls. By the time the album was recorded, the band had developed a following by playing regularly in lower Manhattan after forming in 1971. For shock value, the group was photographed in exaggerated drag on the album cover.

After signing to Mercury Records, the New York Dolls recorded the album at The Record Plant in New York with producer Todd Rundgren, who was known for his sophisticated pop tastes and held a lukewarm opinion of the band. Despite stories of conflicts during the recording sessions, lead singer David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain later said Rundgren successfully captured how the band sounded live. Their music on the album incorporates carefree rock and roll, Brill Building pop influences, and campy sensibilities, while Johansen's colloquial and ambiguous lyrics explore themes of urban youth, teen alienation, adolescent romance, and authenticity.

Artist: Bo Diddley
Album: (single release)
Song: "Pills"
1961 Chess Records
