Ramones, Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Tommy Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone and Marky Ramone, were five guys who adopted the same surname and the same look, and started a band. Inspired by the perfect simple songs of groups like the Beatles, the Kinks and the attitude of the NY Dolls and Iggy Pop, they detested instrumental virtuosity and all things arty. So they invented a sound that was at once reductive, revolutionary alternative and classic. Playing at a velocity that smashed the sound barrier, and fronted by the late and wonderful Joey Ramone, the Ramones toured for 22 years, released 22 albums, and played 2,263. Today the chant "Hey Ho Lets Go" is heard before all home games of the NY Yankees, and their songs are everywhere. Too tough to die.

Om du inte har hört Ramones måste du ha bott under en mossig sten hela ditt liv.
