Less is more, and never more so than with the Ramones, whose simple formula — like E=MC2 — had a [i]massive[/i] impact. Green Day lobs a Molotov cocktail of bubblegum-punk protest in the title track to [i]American Idiot[/i] — three minutes of mosh-pit muckraking. The daughters the Ramones never had called themselves the Donnas, and pledged their allegiance to the band by ditching their [i]first[/i] names, becoming Donnas A., R., F., and C. “Take It Off” unleashes a hornet’s nest of guitar buzzing through the only three chords worth playing, with the snap-crackle-[i]pop[/i] they learned at their daddies’ knees. Scaling the arena down to a sweat-caked hole in the wall, Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl checked his D.C. punk roots out of the hockshop in “Monkey Wrench,” its lightning-strike chord progression lifted right out of the Johnny Ramone songbook. From pop-punk pranksters blink-182 to the OG OC punk power of the Offspring, the Ramones spread their musical DNA to every corner of the rock universe.
