    Best Opening Lyrics: No. 3

    "Hey, ho, let's go!"
    --The Ramones' 'Blitzkrieg Bop'

    The four words that spark late-inning rallies at Yankee Stadium are also the words that started punk rock.

    Hell Yes. The Ramones were the grandfathers of American punk rock. They are revolutionaries. As an avid Ramones fanatic I hate to admit that their later music was a feeble attempt to get some commercial attention. But honestly, anyone who doesn't appreciate the genius in their early songs, how they were so elementary and simple, well,they are missing out. For a band that is so unjustly under represented in the music industry, it always excites me to see them recognized.

    btw; KKK took my baby away? Possibly my favorite song in the history of music.

    I saw these dudes in central Ohio live four times, more than any other music act. Even now, after the deaths of so many members their music still kicks more ass than all the popular "punk-pop" bands that churn out what passes for punk these days. The Ramones are the original and best punk rock band ever, hands down. Viva Ramones forever!

    Dude, you are gonna piss off the Brits...the ramones were cool, but nothing could replace that 'severely repressed stiff upper lip comes totally unglued' quality that the Brits had when THEY invented punk.

    No doubt, The Ramones were by far the best of their era. WAYYYYY better than the brit bands. keeping in mind they would speak to our cultural system better anyway since we are from AMERICA and NOT Britain.

    Damn, I can't believe someone had the sense to put the Ramones on this list. Wierd that I hadn't listened to then in a long while and I played them while I was working tonite. Then I come home and find this.
