--The Ramones' 'Blitzkrieg Bop'
The four words that spark late-inning rallies at Yankee Stadium are also the words that started punk rock.
Listen to the line!

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.

"They're forming in a straight line, they're goin through a tight wind, the kids are losin their minds..."
Viva la Ramones!
FYI Thyme2dream, the Brits didn't invent punk, the Stooges did.

PFFFT. I worked for the Ramones in the late 70s.
This line should have been #1.It and THEY revolutionized music as a whole.

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.

Well, as much as some of the picks sucked on this list, I'm glad to see one of the greatest rock bands of all time represented here and with a great/revolutionary opening line!
Joeat 8-07-2007

LOL brits didn't invent punk rock whatever the idiots say on this comment page.. it was quite an international phenomena that it was all pretty simoltaneous.. and fuck the sex pistols.. if they started punk, they also ended it by being the Blink182 of the 70s..

"2. 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."
then how is it physically possible that the Pistols were fans of the Ramones when they started their band?
