It's almost easier to talk about which rock bands since the mid-'70s don't owe something to the Ramones than list those who do. The seismic impact of the quartet from Queens can't be overestimated. Great U.K. punk bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash were inspired by the Ramones' deceptive smarts and powerhouse simplicity, and it just goes on from there: U2? Check. Green Day? Yep. Guns N' Roses? Oh, yeah.
