The Ramones burst onto the New York City music scene in 1974, sparking the punk rock revolution. With Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy at the helm, their fast-paced, high-energy tracks like "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "I Wanna Be Sedated" became anthems of rebellion. Sporting leather jackets and ripped jeans, they revolutionized rock with their raw, no-frills style. Their influence is undeniable, cementing them as the true pioneers of punk rock.
