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.





All Johnny did was sped up Eddie Cochran riffs.
....no seriously, he removed the jangle out of playing power chords...just a constant downstroke....thrash, hardcore punk,etc. owe him a huge debt....it's like saying chuck berry just played blues riffs...but the way he played them was really innovative.

The ramones were genius.
