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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose 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 and 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) .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCBGB 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\n\u003cp\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1   The Dictators - (I Live For) Cars And Girls\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2  The Harlots of 42nd Street - S\u0026amp;M (I Can’t Live Without You)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3  The Magic Tramps - S\u0026amp;M – Leather Queen\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4  Patti Smith - Free Money\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5  The Brats - Be A Man\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6  City Lights - Travelin’ Man\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7  The Hounds - Call Me (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8  Erasers - It Was So Funny (That Song That They Sung)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9  Ramones - Beat On The Brat\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10  Stuart’s Hammer - Everybody’s Depraved (Live at CBGB)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11  The Planets - Come On Up (Previously unreleased)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12  Milk ‘N’ Cookies - Not Enough Girls (In The World)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13  Just Water - They Live By Night\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14  Television - See No Evil\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e15  Mumps - Crocodile Tears\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e16  The Heartbreakers - Born To Lose\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e17  Testors      - You Don’t Break My Heart\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e18  The Dead Boys - Ain’t Nothing To Do\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e19  The Senders - You Really Piss Me Off\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e20  The Electric Chairs - Fuck Off\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e21  Marbles - Forgive And Forget\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e22  Cherry Vanilla - Hard As A Rock\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e23  Tuff Darts - Fun City\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e24  Talking Heads - A Clean Break (Let's Work) (Live)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC TWO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1  Suicide - Ghost Rider\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2  Pure Hell - I Feel Bad\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3  Helen Wheels - Room To Rage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4  Blondie - Picture This\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5 Mars - Helen Forsdale\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6  Come On - Don’t Walk On The Kitchen Floor\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7  Mink Deville - “A” Train Lady\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8  The Heat - Instant Love (Previously unreleased on CD)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9  Genya Ravan - Aye Co'lorado\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10  Theoretical Girls - Lovin’ In The Red\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11  Richard Hell \u0026amp;
