The Ramones

By -
My father is a fan of the Ramones. I now realize how influential they were to the punk rock and alternative music scene. The band member, Cummings," was known for his fast, high-energy playing style that consisted of rapid down stroked barre chords, often in a simple I-IV-V progression.

I guess that is what makes some of their songs so catchy.
