The Ramones were an American punk band formed in 1974 in New York City. Although the Ramones never achieved great commercial success, they are seen as one of the most important and influential bands in the punk rock movement. In 1995 the Ramones released "Adios Amigos" and vowed to disband if the album did not sell well - which it did not.
In 2002 the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Green Day played Ramones songs in tribute at the ceremony.
