The best punk band that ever lived, one I would sell my soul to see live, but can't, because the lead singer (Joey Ramone) died. they were incepted in 1974 and gave their final concert in 1996.
Members of the band; Joey (vocals), Johnny (guitar), Dee Dee (lyrics, bass) Tommy (drums), Marky (drums after Tommy left) and CJ.
The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame, but Joey did not live to see this--he died of lymphatic cancer on April 15, 2002.
the Ramones were inducted a year later, and 2 months after the ceremony Dee Dee died, on June the 5th.
Some songs include Teenage Lobotomy, Pinhead, The KKK Took My Baby Away, Rock and Roll High School, and others.
See www.ramones.com for more info on band members, discography, etc.
the Corner of Bowery and 2nd Street in NYC was recently names "Joey Ramone Place" in honor of the great man.
They are the founding fathers of today's punk culture, and they added numerous dimensions to the world of punk of today. If you are a poser you only pretend to like the Ramones because other people do.

Get the ramones mug.BEST PUNK BAND THAT EVER LIVED! Many Classic songs, the true inventors of punk and the best songs i've ever heard. NO ONE is as good as them with 3 chords and simple songs. Easy to play, yet no one can match them.
Blitzkrieg Bop, Teenage Lobotomy, I just wanna have something to do, Beat on the Brat, 53rd and 3rd, Commando

Get the Johnny Ramone mug.Johnny Ramone is a legendary guitarist for the famouse band, the Ramones. The Ramones are often credited for inventing punk music. Johnny Ramone was the originator of the down stroke 8th note guitar style. This was very hard to pull off, but somehow Johnny pulled it off for hours and hours of play.

We'll miss you, Johnny!

Get the Johnny Ramone mug.
A punk rock band that hailed in the 1970's and early 80's. The band members were the following:
-Joey Ramones (R.I.P. 2001)
-Johnny Ramone (R.I.P. 2004)
-Dee Dee Ramones (R.I.P. 2002.....you stupid bastard)
-Tommy Ramone
following members were:
-Marky Ramone
-CJ Ramone
-Elvis Ramone (wtf)
-Richie Ramone
The first Ramones album (self-titled) is one of the most famous punk albums ever made. This album contained their biggest hit, Blitzkrieg Bop, and changed the punk sound forever.
Though the Ramones were a very wonderful band, they tried to reach commercialism in the middle of their career, starting around the albums "End of the Century" and "Subterranean Jungle". They were not very successful and many fans were lost. The Ramones, however, were always great in their own way, even if all of them were borderline psychotic and drank too much.
The Ramones split in 1996 and went and did their own thing. Joey Ramone made a new album entitled "Don't Worry About Me" which contains his own version of "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.
Joey died of lymphatic cancer in 2001, Dee Dee died of a heroin overdose like an idiot in 2002, and Johnny died in 2004 of prostate cancer.
Though the main three members are gone, their music will always live on and influence following generations.
