🎸Seventies Sunday! With Gene & Ashlee! Picking CBGB’s tunes From 1977! Dead Boys & Talking Heads 🎸
It’s Seventies Sunday! We didn’t get around to posting & picking tunes for eighties Saturday so we are here a day late & a decade early!
Today we each pick a late 1970’s CBGB’s band from the late seventies NYC scene! In fact we both end up picking 1977 released tunes!
Ashlee picks the Talking Heads
And the 1977 debut album “ Talking Heads: 77” Picking the song Psycho Killer for DailyJam! Next up it’s the song New Feeling for BonusJam!
I (Gene) pick the band The Dead Boys! Picking the record “ Young, Loud and Snotty“ which was the bands 1977 debut album! For DailyJam it’s the song Sonic Reducer! For BonusJam it’s the song What Love Is!
Let’s Go! 🎸
Some awesome music, I love Talking Heads. They made some great music! Dead Boys I don't think I've heard in decades, very cool to hear them again!

A lot of people who were fans of the short lived HBO show Vinyl, think this was an original made for the fictional band in the show. Instead it’s a Dead boys cover!
The guy singing and on video performing the cover version is Mick Jaggers son!

I don't really know these guys but listening to the first one you shared, I think it's something nice
Thanks for the discovery
Nice to hear some of the original punk songs. Talking Heads had more fame but were also more Tame. From what I hear from fam stories, The Dead Boys were quite Alive. Stiv the singer was a crazy man. Small in stature but with boundless energy.
This is from fam and is mine now.
An album cover of the first album, signed by all 5 guys. I wonder what it is worth to collectors.
Sonic Reducer is the classic from this album. What Love Is - just flat out rocks hard! Ain't Nothin To Do is somewhat similar in style. Everyone Knows You Were Caught With The... sounds a bit like Wang Dang... from Ted Nugent had an influence; both from around the same time so who knows who heard who. I can hear the New York Dolls and The Ramones influences on the Dead Boys as well. They all played CBGBs so it makes sense.
Very cool set here, thanks for the fun!

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!

Really awesome to read your thoughts and memories of your music history. Singing on stage at CBGBs, WOW! That's huge. Something to always remember.
Thanks again for this punk post and for the interaction where we can remember the good times we grew up on!

Talking Heads for me, fucking love them
Hells yeah! A band who never took the big bucks for a ruin tour. They were offered insane cash! Just like Smiths & Clash before Strummer passed. There was talk of a reunion tour last year but I haven’t heard. The frontman specifically said it’s an insult to fans when he can’t move like he used too. I say screw it and so one tour. Let them pay if they wanna! !LADY !PIZZA
I am all in favour of musicians doing reunion tours and even greatest hits albums again. One of my favourite bands Madness I hear are celebrating 45 years and going to release an album of 45 singles. Iike you say if people want to pay then do it lol. So much music of today is crap and they go on tour and release music and nobody says anything
