Blitzkrieg Bop

Johnny Ramone, Joey Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone and Tommy Ramone these are names of the members of one of probably the most influentail and energetic band formed in the USA in 20th century - Ramones. The band was found in 1974 in New York and theye were touring almost non-stop for 22 years.


The group is considered among with Sex Pistols(UK) to be the first band which played Punk Rock and defined the genre. They also have a big role in forming the final picture of Punk subculture in the United States. 


Although, the band didn't reach the comercial success(it wasn't their aim anyway) they were appreciated  by music critics and called one of the most important bands in the Rock music history. 

They have 26th place in the Rolling Stone Magazine list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" and 17th in VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".On March 18, 2002, the original four members and Tommy's replacement on drums, Marky Ramone, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Task:

List at least 3 bands which performed similar music in the 1970's.
