The Ramones: fathers of the punk

the legendary punk band, the ramones created in the mid 70,s in queens, new york, united states by 4 guys who only wanted get out the rage what they felt in their souls. These guys, jeff hyman(joey ramone), john cummings(jhonny ramone),douglas colvin(dee dee ramone) and thomas erdely(tommy ramone)decided in 1974 make a band, where joey was the vocalist, jhonny the guitar player, dee dee the basist and tommy as drummer. they started playing in forest hills, where they were from. after, they played in the famous place called CBGB in new york city. there, several people meet their music that it was not so good and clear. they started to improve and still playing in the CBGB, they made their first album "ramones" which inluded the most important and representative song, also known as the himn of the band "Blitkrieg Bop".

this song inmediatly was in the taste of the public, people got a connection with the band since the forst note of the song and it was a way to express the opression lived in that age. they became very famous and known for this song. after of the success of the first album, they recorded several more ones.

all are awesome, but there are some that were like an art piece like:

-Ramones
-it,s alive(recopilation)
-road to ruin
-end of the century WOW
-too tough to die
-brain drain
-mondo bizarro
-adios amigos( the last one, 1996)

these album were, according to me the best ones of the best in the ramones career, they inspired a lot of nowdays bands liek greenday, nirvana, the strokes,etc.

The ramones marked an age, where teenagers and society were opressed by goverment, they gove to young people a weapon to get out all that frustration and tell to goverment and opressors.

FUCK OFF!!!!!!
