Talking heads not punk but I do appreciate them being at the early CBGB’s. I suppose though not punk I do love and respect the bands there early like even Television too. Dead Boys , it’s funny I’ve always been a Ramones guy, and no need to only pick one, but I honestly hadn’t even heard the Dead Boys record until way later and it def did more to influence the eighties so call wave a few years behind. Sonic Reducer is basically an eighties punk song that arrived early. Man what I wouldn’t give to be born decades sooner! I wasn’t born until early eighties. Looking at it glass half full I did get to sing on stage at CBGB’s in 2001, I was in high school and sang a full song with a friends older brothers band. So that was a good feeling at least standing on that stage and pissing in that iconic bathroom. I grew up hour or so north of NYC so got to see many punk shows growing up in late nineties and 2000’s. I was lucky to see the punk scene and last years of a few iconic clubs that closed by 2001. I went to first punk show in middle school like 8th grade. I did see Circle Jerks in early 2000’s on a reunion tour so yeah I got to see more punk than kids today but man I just wish I was there!

Really awesome to read your thoughts and memories of your music history. Singing on stage at CBGBs, WOW! That's huge. Something to always remember.
Thanks again for this punk post and for the interaction where we can remember the good times we grew up on!
