Best Sunset Strip legend:

excerpt from SPIN underground u.s.a.

Ah, the wonder that is Los Angeles. Within a four-block stretch on high-rent Sunset Boulevard, there's Billboard Live (now the Key Club), the Roxy, the Whisky A-Go-Go, and the Viper Room. If you can visit only one, make it the Whisky A-Go-Go (8901) Sunset Blvd.). Where else can you touch one stage where the Germs, Jim Morrison, the Cramps and X all rawked out? The Whisky brings out the best in everybody: This is where Darby Crash started a food fight while screaming the words to an Archies song, and where Jim Morrison jumped off the stage and ran out into traffic on Sunset Boulevard...........What other club has nurtured every band from Love to the Go-Go's to the Gun Club and is the subject of a tremendously inspired Beverly Hillbillies episode?
