The Ramones
The Ramones are considered by many to be the founding fathers of punk rock. With their blistering tempos and stripped-down musical skills, the Ramones inspired generations of youths to pick up instruments and start bands of their own. The band's streetwise fashion of leather jackets, T-shirts, ripped jeans, and sneakers were accessible to the masses, and eventually their look became something of a punk-rock uniform. Readers will learn about The Ramones and their founding band members as well as other band members. Readers will learn about their punk rock legacy.
* Reviews *
Rebels of Rock series. These "unauthorized rockographies" are good starting points for rock-and-roll researchers (though they should take the super-stoked narration with a grain of salt). Each volume provides detailed descriptions of the title band's members, history, and career highs and lows. Clean design, including. many photographs, make the information easy to follow; photo captions tend to repeat rather than extend the texts. Discographies are included. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2011
