Your American Icon:

The Ramones

Location:

New York, New York

Video: Unable to find video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzWCBkXjYJM.

Why is this work an American Icon?:

A band saying that they were influenced by The Ramones has become a cliché, but the fact is that the New York music scene that began in the early 1970's, centered around CBGB's, and led by The Ramones, changed the sound and the face of rock music.

First name:

Bruce
