Most vague memory?

The 10 Best NYC Clubs of All Time

1) Studio 54. The be-all and end-all of '70s glitz and hedonism. A crazy salad populated with the bad and the beautiful. 2) Mudd Club. The anti-54, this divey new wave hangout on a side street in downtown's then-wasteland bred skinny ties, attitude, and sheer brilliance.
3) Area. A gigantic '80s club that made its own rules, dedicating itself to art themes and frisky people.
4) Danceteria. A four-floor haunt for big-haired '80s performance types who comprised a monument to boho brassiness, back when there was an underground.
5) Jackie 60. Partying with aesthetics, poetics, war paint, and a dress code. Gorgeous!
6) Happy Valley. Just four years ago, it brought back the club kid explosion on Tuesdays as if recreating a sexier, cross-dressing Brigadoon.
7) CBGB. If you didn't have a pierced nose, they'd gladly give you one.
8) The Roxy. Gay heaven every Saturday night, especially if you had a nice chest (and that included the drag queens).
9) The Palladium. A multi-level colossus that was the height of '80s gall and recreation, from the Mike Todd Room on top to the Engine Room on the bottom.
10) Limelight. A church-turned-decadence-den with a few nice people sprinkled in.


The above are the 10 Best NYC "clubs" pick from well respected Brooklyn native American jounalist, Mr.Michael Musto. 


Here are my own pick of the 10 Best NYC "nightclubs" from my club kid era. (1988-1991)

1) Mars
2) Nel's
3) Save the robots
4) Tunnel
5) Copa
6) Sound factory
7) Roxy
8) MK
9) limelight
10) The coffee shop (hang out place before hitting clubs)

wish list: Paradise Garage....they were already closed by the time I was in NYC.....

I just happened to find the article and I had to drop my list.........
To some people, I am sure these names would bring back the most vague memory, right?


and to some people, this may also bring back the vague memory too?
