The Ramones - Your Punk-starter kit
"Hey, Oh! Let's Go!" They are the best Punk band to ever exist and have influenced a lot of bands from all over the world! Their music is surely blasting with the soul of rock and roll. With Joey Ramone and his powerful vocals, Johnny Ramone with his fast riffs on the guitar, Dee Dee Ramone on the bass, and Marky Ramone drumming without missing a single beat! They are the pioneers of Punk!
Dressed in leather jackets, and ripped jeans, they are rocking out with the crowd and having fun! A lot of Punks out there follow this rugged clothing trend and it's fun to see them jump around while singing along with the band during their energetic live performances. I really like seeing Johnny Ramone playing the guitar riffs really fast!
Just watch this video of them performing "Blitzkrieg Bop" live:
This song is really addictive with its simple yet catchy chord progressions and fun lyrics. However, there are plenty more good hits by The Ramones!
My personal favourite list includes:
1. You're gonna kill that girl
2. She's the one
3. The KKK took my baby away
4. Sheena is a punk rocker
5. Pet cemetery
6. I wanna be sedated
7. Blitzkrieg bop
8. I just want to have something to do
9. I wanna live
10. Rock & Roll Highschool
Overall, the Ramones are so awesome! I really love their energy and interaction with their audience. They have disbanded due to the death of Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee, but their music still lives on to this day!
