  • A lot of bands today Don't Come Close to the Ramones

  • This really swings!

    Listen to it closely - it's not simplistic at ALL!

    There are multiple grooves going on: Johnny's guitar playing straight against Dee Dee's more loose and samba-like bass runs and the drummer keeping some krautrock insistency throughout.

    Actually, Dee Dee makes this. He was one superb bassist!

  • The Ramones aren't necessarily a "punk rock" band - they played fucking rock & roll.

  • Nobody comes close to the Ramones. All due respect to Iggy, The Clash, etc... but Joey and the boys defined a generation...

  • @manickp don't forget about the stooges. they were around before the ramones and weren't exactly "punk rock" but they played a huge role in the development of the genre

  • @manickp Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, The Saints, The Ruts, Eater, Buzzcocks, The Adverts.

  • @YouthEnergy Thanks!

  • @manickp Black Flag, Bad Religion, The Adolescents, Minor Threat, The Stooges (godfathers of punk).

  • Somebody have the original video???

  • so i am just now starting to get into older punk. can anyone recommend good PUNK bands from like the Ramone's era to mid 90's?

  • RIP Joey

  • Greatest American Band EVER!!!
