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.
