Valley of the Dolls is the second studio album by the English punk rock band Generation X.

[8] Ian Hunter was commissioned as the record's producer at Tony James's request, from having been a fan of his work with Mott the Hoople in the early 1970s.

"[10] On release in January 1979 the record performed disappointingly in the UK Albums Chart, and contributed substantially to Generation X's demise as a band at the year's end.

In a later interview with the New Musical Express, Tony James, the band's bass-player and song-writing lyricist attributed the record's failure commercially and artistically to: "I was in love with the rock and roll myth.

The album contained the UK singles: "King Rocker", which reached #11 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1979;[13] "Valley of the Dolls", which reached #23 in April,[14] and "Fridays Angels" in June 1979, which failed to enter the top 40.
