Sure its been covered but the 1970s Lower East Side in NYC - Richard Hell & The Voidoids, The Cramps, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, Television, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, The Ramones, Talking Heads.

When I think of say London or LA, I think of two or three great bands and lots of third-rate copycatism going on... that's something you can never accuse the folks at CB's of. Punk shouldn't be a strict code - the whole point is illustrated by the Bowery bunch.
