Hailing from Forest Hills - a neighborhood of Queens, New York City (USA) - the Ramones were an American punk rock band formed in 1974. The original line-up consisted of singer Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, bassist Dee Dee Ramone, and drummer Tommy Ramone.

After Tommy left the band in early 1978, he was replaced by Marky Ramone. In 1983, Marky was fired and replaced by Richie Ramone. Elvis Ramone briefly filled in for two performances before Marky returned in September 1987. In 1989, Dee Dee left and was replaced by C.J. Ramone.

In 2001, Joey passed away due to Lymphoma. The following year, Dee Dee died in Los Angeles on June 5th. Johnny passed away in his sleep on September 15th, 2004. Tommy died ten years later on July 11th, 2014 – making him the last original member of the band to die.

The Ramones were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 2002.

Despite carrying on the celebratory tone of The Ramones' debut and Leave Home in the likes of Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, Cretin Hop a tribute to dirty Rockaway Beach and covers of The Trashmen and Do You Wanna Dance? Their third LP from 1977 displays a dark humour that's less jokey than the previous releases' goofs on bad mental health and dysfunctional relationships. the group's best-produced of its first three releases, rocket achieves an almost smooth texture thanks to a clean mix and increased use of Beach Boys-inspired vocal harmonies.

The Ramones ignited the punk-rock movement with their eponymous 1976 debut album, revitalizing rock and roll at one of its lowest ebbs with attitude, energy and a loud, fast new sound. By cutting music down to its bare essentials – four chords; a simple, catchy melody; a sped up tempo and irresistibly inane lyrics, the Ramones blazed the trail for thousands of bands that followed, influencing everyone from The Clash and The Sex Pistols to Green Day and The Offspring. Although The Ramones never achieved mainstream financial success, they released 21 live and studio albums, had a devoted fan base and were inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
