Again, I'm sorry, I disagree. (And I can totally understand why you would disagree with me.)
I don't think the Ramone's were the first punk band. They were the first SUCCESSFUL punk band (with the Sex Pistols), however TNYD were the beginnings of punk. They fused glam rock with a new genre - punk. Their own.
(Also, I feel really bad that we totally took over Tobias' thread about the origins of punk. - However, everyone's opinions are super interesting...)
