I have started listening to Ramones last year. I think they are one of the best bands. It might be true that Joey and Johnny didn't got along but their music is one of the best. I just wish that I could experience one of their concerts.

I was lucky to see them, still can't believe I saw them, wish they were still around and touring but alas it wasn't meant to be, all we have are memories and their music.

They keep releasing stuff, mostly compilations and some live stuff, they need to remaster a couple of their albums still.

This is still one of my faves, remember seeing it live, first band to play two songs in a row on top of the pops I believe...

It's just so sad how quickly they died off(Joey, Dee Dee, & Johnny). I also like their later stuff...it would have been interesting to see what they would have offered us had they stayed healthy & lived

I'm just bummed that I never had a chance to go to one of their concerts. They were here in Slovenia in 1994, but at the time I was 4 years old. By the time I discovered Ramones most of them died. Man I was born too late. Marky had concert in neighbour country not long ago but my financial state isn't best so I had to let this one through.

I know how you feel, there are so many bands that slipped through the net, be it no money, too young or on holiday. You will catch some good bands, just treasure the memories of those:)

I guess you're right. Also there are some tribute bands. I will try to catch some of them.
