Best Answer

Both bands gave punk a solid foundation on which many other bands would be judged.

The Ramones are often thought of as defining the punk rock "sound" and its minimalist fashion ethos. They were a major influence on the punk movement in the US and the UK. The hard-to-please critic Robert Christgau said of the Ramones' first record, "I love it. For me, it blows everything else off the radio." They were influenced by the '50s and '60s music they grew up listening to but injected it with a harder edge.

The Clash was part of the first wave of British punk and incorporated many different styles of music, including reggae, funk, and rockabilly. The Clash's political lyrics and rebellious attitude and style have had a great influence on bands for decades now. Joe Strummer is also considered by many to be one of the punk rock best singers of all time.

Who is a punk rock singer from the 80's?

No, punk started in the mid-to-late sixties with the Velvet Underground, The Stooges, and The MC5, had its heyday in the seventies with The Ramones, The Heartbreakers, The Dead Boys, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, etc., etc., and was over by the early eighties. There were still punk bands around -- The Ramones, for example, continued touring well into the nineties -- but punk as a movement was over by 1982, at the latest.
