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!
