The first and best punk group ever. Formed in 1974, original members were Joey (vocals), Johnny (guitar), Dee Dee (bass; left in 1989 but was there for the best years), and Tommy (drums; left in 1979 and replaced by Marky, who was replaced by Richie but Marky returned soon after). They invented the genre we now know as punk. Their first album, Ramones, was a groundbreaking record. The band remained awesome for decades longer. Some of their best songs are Blitzkrieg Bop (Hey! Ho! Lets go!), I wanna be Sedated, Teenage Lobotomy, Pinhead, Judy is a Punk, Sheena is a Punk Rocker, We're a happy family, Glad to see you go, Rockaway Beach, and Commando. Personally, I believe their worst song was The Crusher because of the inadequate vocals that really don't sound like Joey. The band remained together until 1996. Joey died of lymphoma in '01, Dee Dee died of a drug overdose in June of '02, and Johnny died of prostate cancer in '04. They were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in April 2002. I get called obsessed and am criticized for liking the Ramones at my school, but only a fiendish mango could not help but like this awesome band. And although the main members are dead, the legacy of The Ramones will probably last for centuries to come.

Get the The Ramones mug.The influential, and iconic frontman for the RAMONES. Commonly referred to as the godfather of punk, a title he shares with Iggy Pop. His visual trademarks were, circular shades, a leather jacket, a t-shirt, sneakers, jeans, dark hair, and his height. His vocal trademark was a voice which was part snarling, part rasping, part crooning, part moaning, part growling, and part screaming. He was born in 1951 as Jeffery Hyman, to Mrs. C. Lesher, and Mr. N. Hyman. He was SUPPOSEDLY born sterile, a question which has been disputed. He attended Forest hills high with his friends, Thomas "Tommy" Erdyli, Jonathan (or was it just John) "Johnny" Cummings, and Douglas "Dee Dee" Colvin, with whom he would start the RAMONES. After Three decades of success, along with a couple changes in ranks, Joey and Johnny decided to retire. Joey recorded one last album, a solo effort as a "This is the last you'll ever hear from me" album. It was released posthumously, a year after his death from lymphoma in 2001. He never married or had children, possibly because of his disputed ability to sire children, or simply because he never wanted any. He had a street in his hometown, NYC. He, along with the other RAMONES, have been a major influence on the Punk rock (Sex pistols, The Clash, Green Day) , Modern rock (Killers), Alternative rock (U2), and Heavy metal (Iron maiden, Metallica) genres. He is survived by his brother, Mickey Leigh.
1: On my last visit to hell, I had the privilege of interviewing Joey Ramone. First, I asked what he would have done if he hadn't died. He said:"I would host a nighttime radio show in New York, just like I do in the afterlife."
2: I then asked Joey Ramone about his influences, and he said "The Beatles, The Ronnetes, The Mc5, Sex pistols, Clash, Motörhead, Iron F***in maiden, Metallica, Green day, etc."
3. Joey Ramone. Ah, even in the afterlife, He still has a sense of humor.
4.I also asked Joey (Ramone) if he was sterile. "EXCUSE ME?!Even if I was, do you think I'd TELL YOU?! And maybe my 'infertility' has nothing to do with me not having any known kids? It's none of your *#%^*^ business anyways. Can't we talk about other +%#% please? Like, do you miss me?" "Yeah, it's much quieter on earth now. You miss earth?" "Not as much as I used to."
5. Joey Ramone never did answer that one question. And it seems he never will. So for his sake, don't talk about that $&@; because it makes him feel uncomfortable.

Get the Dee Dee Ramone mug.My favorite band of all time. People criticize them and say they aren't punk, but isn't punk about not adhering to an image anyway? The Ramones had songs that were fun to sing along to and were probably the first and last perfect US punk band. No one will ever be like them.
