To be honest, I know of the Ramones, but only by name, and I know Lombardi and a few others have mentioned them here on the BB. I can't honestly say I know any of their music. Let me ask, where they more popular on the East Coast??? I lived in Michigan during their heyday, and especially around that time, I was into music, but like I said, the name was always familiar, but I don't know any of their music really??? What was their biggest hit?? TIS

Rest In Peace, Johnny Ramone. The Ramones are one of my favorite bands of all time and it is definitely a loss to the music world to see Johnny Ramone go.

TIS, surely you remember the movie Rock & Roll High School starring a younger P.J. Soles as Riff Randell, Rock and Roller. Much of the plot revolved around getting the Ramones to perform at the school. The Ramones took the anger of the Sex Pistols and turned it into a rave for the '70's. Power chords with a New York attitude. They were to the east coast what Iggy Pop was to Detroit. tony b.

TIs, the Ramones were one of the great bands of the 70's. They were very popular in the UK & Ireland. "Blitzkrieg Bop" was the first "punk" song I ever heard, probably late 1975. They sort of followed the New York Dolls as pioneers of high tempo, 3 minute pop classics. The Ramones were characterised by the technical simplicity of their songs (i.e. why use four chords when three will do!). I remember going to see them in Belfast in 1978 and it was in the paper the next day that they performed 17 songs in 32 minutes!! None of this "you're the best audience in the world" crap. When they finished one song Joey would immediately shout "1-2-3-4!!!" and they started the next one. Great stuff. Some of their best known songs were: Suzy Is A Headbanger, Cretin Hop, You Don't Come Close, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment, Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Pinhead, The KKK Took My Baby Away. As the old saying goes, they definitely don't write them like that anymore!!
