Greatest punk band ever. They started the punk scene but they did not set out by calling themselves punks. They formed the band to bring back rock n roll. They were a reaction to there being nothing decent to listen to on the radio, it was all Led Zepplin with their 20 minute soloes. The Ramones played fast but this did not mean their music wasn't as good, they still had the greatest sound ever whilst playing it faster than most people can.
Go out and buy The Ramones - Anthology and listen to the second disk for their best songs ever, in my opinion.

Get the ramonesmug. The inventors of punk rock - NOT the Sex Pistols or The Clash.
Most California pop-punkers base thier sound and lyrics on these guys, but none of them can match the style, wit and class of the originals!

The original, authentic, and best punk band ever! They're what all these losers today aren't. Good! Smash your Good Charlotte CD's and listen to real punk! Do you remember rock n' roll radio?

Get the Ramonesmug. A really neat band with amusing songs, and the stars of Rock 'n' Roll High School, the best movie ever. Some annoying people claim to like the Ramones, but barely know anything about them and have only heard one or two of their songs.
Adolescent #1: The Ramones are such a great band.
Adolescent #2: I think so too. What's your favorite song?
Adolescent #1: "I Wanna Be Sedated," lolz. What's yours?
Adolescent #2: "Pinhead."
Adolescent #1: I don't know that one.
