Now that we've introduced all the songs we have on the set list (so far), we'll begin working through the history of the Punk spirit. This week we'll talk about the Proto-Punk bands and the original NYC CBGBs bands. As always, these lists are just a small sampler, but if you're building some playlists at home to listen to, this is a good start.
Proto-Punk:
The MC5
The Stooges
The Velvet Underground
The New York Dolls
The Modern Lovers
CBGBs (New York bands):
Talking Heads
Patti Smith
Television
Dead Boys
Ramones
Richard Hell
