Ah, I get it, you're one of those idiots who can't tell the difference between having influences and ripping someone off, I gotcha.

Seriously, none of those artists have anything in common and I can't think of any other bands that combined those influences in 1977. They took a whole range of influences that no band before them thought of combining.

Seriously, if you don't even know what "ripoff" means don't throw the word around.

....Yeah the Ramones ripped off 60's pop, but johnny's guitar playing, as simple as it was, was nothing short of revolutionary.
The Ramones are/were the pinnacle of originality.


All Johnny did was sped up Eddie Cochran riffs.
