The Ramones released their first record in April, 1976, which would have given the Sex Pistols their first opportunity to hear the Ramones. But by April of 1976, the Pistols had already been playing for 6 months and had written most of the songs they would be famous for (just check out the May, 1976 demos, or the live tapes from April 1976). Thanks to a poorly-written set of liner notes in a Ramones CD c. 1990, legions of fans have been raised to believe the Ramones influenced the Pistols, but it's just not true. They evolved independently, even if they shared some common influences.Phil O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14499273759083108847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745468497415566726.post-26465481594538419722009-10-28T13:05:16.803-04:002009-10-28T13:05:16.803-04:00great...this is one of the small cadre of records ...great...this is one of the small cadre of records that i have owned in vinyl, tape, cd and digital formats (2 tapes, wore one out!) and can sing by memory line by line. impossibly, digustingly good every time i listen to it.<br /><br />-julianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
