"Before the Ramones, there was nothing" --A rock critic
"The Ramones were the only outside band that everyone looked up to." --Chrissie Hynde "They've remained true to their vision of rock'n' roll as fast, fun music." --Kurt Loder "They speak up for outcasts and disturbed individuals." --Jon Pareles, the New York Times "People say that your music is loud and destructive and lethal to mice, but I think you're the Beethovens of our time." --from Rock 'n' Roll High School "Virtually every current commercial guideline in rock is broken somewhere in the Ramones." --Robert Hillburn "We're not trying to compete with Bruce Springsteen." --Tommy Ramone
