Though the Ramones lit the fuse of the ‘70s punk explosion, at heart, they were just a pop band that played really, really, really fast. Scrape away their Stooges-inspired distortion and you'll hear echoes of rock's mid-'60s golden age: the girl-group sass of the Ronettes, the surf-bound sounds of the Beach Boys, the British Invasion melodicism of The Who and the Kinks, the sneering garage rock of The Seeds and The Troggs. This playlist breaks down the Ramones' collective record collection to its most essential inspirations.
