| | CBGB |
 | | The club hosted many punk and new wave bands over the years and is regarded as the birthplace and center of punk rock. | | | It was at this early juncture that critics began to call the music played there "punk" rock, from the customers who would frequent a Bowery nightclub very late at night. | | | In the mid 1970s, the club was in decline, as both the Bowery and the folk music revival were fading. |

| | The first few bands to play CBGB were the Con Fullam Band and the Wretched Refuse String Band, as well as a smattering of other country, folk, and jazz artists. | | | Though many bands would come back to play at CBGB and pay their respects, by the end of the '70s the first wave of the club's bands had left the building. | | | Things started to change in 1974, when, according to punk folklore, a young Tom Verlaine--singer/guitarist for the band Television--approached Kristal, who was standing on a ladder, attaching the now-iconic CBGB and OMFUG awning. |

| | Widely acknowledged by music critics as the birthplace of the Punk and Underground Rock movement, CBGB's is also credited with launching the careers of some of the most important artists in musical history - including The Ramones, Talking Heads, Patti Smith Group, Television, and Blondie. | | | With over 800 bands scheduled, there surely should be something for every type of music fan. | | | More recently, CBGB's has become a shrine to punk's departed music heroes - the club resides adjacent to the street corner designated by the City of New York as Joey Ramone Place. |
