Rock'n Roll is a 1994 compilation album by the New York Dolls. It features every original song from their first two albums, New York Dolls and Too Much Too Soon, along with four additional tracks. The cover of "Stranded in the Jungle" appeared on the second LP, and the other three tracks had been previously unreleased: "Courageous Cat Theme", recorded for a commercial during the sessions for the second album; and two demos - one of an original titled "Lone Star Queen" and a cover of Otis Redding's "Don't Mess With Cupid."

This is the first remastered release of New York Dolls recordings; 24-bit remasters of the complete studio albums were released in 2006 in a limited edition in Japan.
