He was indifferent to many of them (\"No one is going to like you guys, but I'll have you back,\" he told Joey Ramone), blissfully unaware of how important his scruffy little club would soon become. In the span of only 15 months, the five groups that comprise the CBGB's pantheon all debuted: Television in March 1974, followed by Ramones in August and Blondie in October, then Patti Smith in February 1975 and Talking Heads four months later. Those five groups all quickly got record deals and became popular enough to outgrow CBGB's. By the fall of 1977, Smith was the only one who was still playing there. What succeeded the Big Five was an array of new and retro styles, all of which feature here: No Wave (Sonic Youth, Mars, DNA, Bush Tetras), post-punk (Ritual Tension, Unknown Gender, Khmer Rouge), mutant funk and R\u0026amp;B (James Chance \u0026amp; The Contortions, Mink DeVille), art-rock bands (R. L. Crutchfield's Dark Day, The Revelons, Erasers, Jeff and Jane Hudson) hardcore punk (Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Vatican Commandos, Beastie Boys), and lots of power pop (Sorrows, The dBs, The Rudies, The Miamis, The Paley Brothers). The club's best-known bands are present on this compilation but we've also revived interest in dozens of unfairly forgotten acts that, for a moment in time, made an album, EP, 45, or even a demo that crackled with innovation, wit, and joy. CBGB no longer exists, at least not in the physical plane, but what happened between those soot-filled, beer-stinking walls continues to reverberate around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dictators - (I Live For) Cars And Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Harlots of 42nd Street - S;M (I Can't Live Without You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Magic Tramps - S;M - Leather Queen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatti Smith - Free Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Brats - Be A Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCity Lights - Travelin' Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hounds - Call Me (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErasers - It Was So Funny (That Song That They Sung)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamones - Beat On The Brat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStuart's Hammer - Everybody's Depraved (Live at CBGB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Planets - Come On Up (Previously unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilk `N' Cookies - Not Enough Girls (In The World)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Water - They Live By Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelevision - See No Evil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMumps - Crocodile Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Heartbreakers - Born To Lose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTestors - You Don't Break My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dead Boys - Ain't Nothing To Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Senders - You Really Piss Me Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Electric Chairs - Fuck Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarbles - Forgive And Forget\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherry Vanilla - Hard As A Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuff Darts - Fun City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalking Heads - A Clean Break (Let's Work) (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuicide - Ghost Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Hell - I Feel Bad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelen Wheels - Room To Rage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlondie - Picture This\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMars - Helen Forsdale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome On - Don't Walk On The Kitchen Floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMink Deville - \"A\" Train Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Heat - Instant Love (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenya Ravan - Aye Co'lorado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical Girls - Lovin' In The Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Hell ; The Voidoids - The Kid With The Replaceable Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Stillettos - Pink Stillettos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Paley Brothers - Baby, Let's Stick Together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeon Leon - Rock 'n' Roll Is Alive (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevelons - The Way (You Touch My Hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew York Ni**ers - Just Like Dresden '45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL.O.K. - Fun House (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial - O.A.O.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Laughing Dogs - I Need A Million\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrapnel - Combat Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeroxide - Heart Disease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudent Teachers - Christmas Weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTom Verlaine - Breakin' In My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Lloyd - Number Nine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Chance ; The Contortions Jailhouse Rock (Live at CBGB 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cramps - Garbage Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dots - I Don't Wanna Dance (With You) (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Miamis - We Deliver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Citizens - Shift The Blame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dB's - Black And White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rattlers - On The Beach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Of Life Orchestra - Revolution Is Personal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrban Verbs - Next Question (Previously unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSylvain Sylvain - Teenage News\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStimulators - Loud Fast Rules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTot Rocket And The Twins - Reduced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bongos - Telephoto Lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutsets - I'm Searchin' For You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorrows - Teenage Heartbreak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lounge Lizards - Do The Wrong Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNervus Rex - There She Goes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cosmopolitans - Wild Moose Party\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyrock - Your Dragging Feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLenny Kaye with The Lone Wolves - Child Bride (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR.L.
