I used to go to CBGB's all the time many years ago. I got to see many bands play that club such as the Ramones, GBH, Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Kraut, Cro-Mags, Discharge and 2 of my all time favorites the Plasmatics (3 times) and Agnostic Front. Ahhhh memories to bad the club is no longer there.

Punk never made sense to me. I like the music but the ideology is kind of dumb.

Which ideology? There's a whole spectrum of different ones: from pacifist, vegetarian, etc. to violent and angry to just getting drunk and having fun...

I was totally into it from about '81 to '91 (socal) saw a ton of bands. Now, I'm pretty out of touch. I don't know what's going on in the scene or what new bands there are (aside from the top 40 bubble gum punk bullshit I've heard in the past decade... which doesn't really count as punk anyway). One exception: it's sort of cool to hear Bad Religion on the radio occasionally - they still sound a lot like they did 20 yrs. ago.

I am partial to Gogol Bordello. They are dubbed "gypsy punks" but find the tag humorous.

Check 'em out if you get a chance.
