A three-chord people's movement on eight legs, the Ramones revolutionized rock by reclaiming it from conservatory cornballs and safe-bet session yobs. Ever since they blasted out of Queens in 1974, they've inspired countless kids worldwide to pick up guitars and piss off their parents. Blazing with bubblegum hooks and Blitzkrieg abandon, the Ramones' no-nonsense proto-punk has outlasted virtually everything it inspired, standing as nothing less than a pillar of modern music. Hey! Ho! Let's Go!

Sex Pistols the first punk rockas? Feggedaboudit! Punk is as American as the Ramones, formed in Forest Hills, New York, in 1974. They were on their third LP when the Pistols debuted. Keying off their ’60s U.S. pop and garage-band influences while sneering at the bloated state of ’70s rock, Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy virtually invented the loud ’n’ snotty punk style and ’tude, playing in Bowery dives like CBGB.
