Founded in 1974 in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, by friends Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone, and Tommy Ramone, the band Ramones is considered the pioneer of punk rock. With a straightforward sound, short songs, and raw energy, the Ramones revolutionized the music scene and influenced countless bands over the decades.
The combination of Joey‘s unmistakable vocals, Johnny‘s explosive riffs, Dee Dee‘s distinctive basslines, and Tommy‘s rhythmic precision created a unique sound that remains timeless. Despite lineup changes over the years, including the additions of Marky, Richie, C.J., and Elvis Ramone, the band’s essence stayed true to the simplicity and rebellious spirit that define punk.
The Ramones released 14 studio albums throughout their career, each contributing to solidifying their legacy as one of the most iconic bands in rock history. Explore the Ramones’ discography and the records that shaped punk rock:
