#1 Thanks mods for posting this, damn that band meant a lot to me. I didn't feel the sense of loss after Joey! Johnny or DeeDee had passed. I guess it's they are all gone.

Many have tried but few will pound the hell out three cords, punish the drums and be vocally incoherent for a blissful 2 and a minutes with that energy. They drug out of the doldrums, in high school, of Elton John, ELO, the carpenters, Billy Joel and made me realize this is rock and roll.

From there i went to Athens and got REM, love tractor, concrete blonde, and the B52s,

But without the Ramones i may not have ever looked for them...

#2 Yes sir, Beavis. These guys (and DEVO) blew the doors off of my mainstream Aerosmith, Led Zep, Pink Floyd musical world in high school forever. R.I.P. Ramones!

#6 Ramone? I thought it was a typo and they were talking about Vic Damone. That there was a guy who could sing!
