I bought California Sun/ I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You from Fine Records (subsequently Rounder) on it's import release in the spring of '77 and can't believe that is 37 fvckin' years ago!!! Never got round to seeing them unfortunately but their music seems just as fresh and relevant today!It makes me really sad to think that they have all gone. I saw The Ramones a few times in the seventies and they were brilliant. I never expected them to get the legendary status they have, where their T shirts are sold as fashion items, and worn by people who have never heard of them, but they were great.
Ditto. Feel really privileged to have seen them, can't believe they used to play the Top Rank!It makes me really sad to think that they have all gone.

I saw a young girl of about 8 wearing a Ramones t-shirt last week and did wonder if she had ever heard a Ramones record.
Very good band. RIP Tommy.
very sad news. Another light that lit up my youth has gone out.
Had the privilege of seeing them a couple of times at the top rank I thing in about 1979 and 1985.
First time I ever heard them was on the Anne Nightingale show :
I was at that gig in 1985 although think it was 86. Amazing!

Are you sure it wasn't a One Direction rip-off of one of the classic Ramones t-shirt designs?
