10 Famous Musicians Who Literally Did The Same Thing Every Time
6. Creating The Punk Rock Rulebook - The Ramones
Whenever anyone tries to put together the perfect punk rock band, more often than not they end up describing is the Ramones. With just a few chords and a frantic tempo, the band exploded out of CBGB's scene in New York to establish the modern sound of punk rock.
Each song the band released would be the perfect blast of sonic adrenaline to send their audience into a frenzy...if only for a little while. The repertoire for these guys was so short that the typical 14-track album could be over and done with in a little less than half an hour. In the words of the band themselves, they were looking to make songs that were honest and to the point without having to conform to the more bombastic contemporary sounds of prog.
Whether or not you could tell which song was which, the band always had the freewheeling energy and rebellious tinge that all punk rock is built upon. It may seem a bit repetitive for the more musically inclined, but what the Ramones produced is far more than just the typical pop song. These tunes were a pure shot of life for anyone with a pulse that made rock and roll seem like a rip roaring good time.
