pioneers and leaders of the nascent punk rock , cemented the foundation of this musical compositions simple, minimalist and repetitive, very simple lyrics or even meaningless, in clear opposition to the pomp and pageantry of the bands who triumphed in the 1970 market: long guitar solos, complex progressive rock songs and enigmatic lyrics. Their sound is characterized by rapid and direct, with influences from rockabilly of the 1950, surf rock, The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, the band of girls from the 60's like The Shangri-Las and the garage proto-punk MC5 and The Stooges.
Ramones led the first wave of punk in New York, sharing the stage of CBGB Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, Blondie and Richard Hell, among others, and serving as inspiration for the vast majority of punk bands emerged in the 70's. As one of the most important bands in rock history, his influence is felt in almost all formations of post punk.
Throughout his career, the Ramones released 14 studio albums and several compilations and live albums, making a total of 21 albums. Despite their current fame, the group only got a gold record, thanks to Ramonesmania compilation in 1988, and only two of their albums got beyond the top 50 on the U.S. Billboard. None of their singles got commercial impact. The band disbanded in 1996 following completing the last show of her world tour in Argentina and then retire in the Lollapalooza festival. Three of its four original members (Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone and Dee Dee Ramone) died in an interval of eight years since the disappearance of the band. In 2002 the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
