The Ramones are the pioneers of punk rock, but none of the members were actually related, nor was their last name 'Ramone.' The idea for the name came from bassist Douglas Colvin, better known as Dee Dee Ramone. He had learned that Paul McCartney used to check into hotels under the pseudonym 'Paul Ramon' to avoid fan attention during the Beatlemania era. Dee Dee adopted the name and convinced the rest of the band—Joey, Johnny, and Tommy—to do the same. This created a unified, 'gang-like' identity that matched their uniform of leather jackets and ripped jeans. Their fast, three-chord songs like 'Blitzkrieg Bop' and 'I Wanna Be Sedated' changed the face of rock music, influencing everyone from The Clash to Green Day. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
