Tommy Ramone, by Stoko on Jul 12, 2014 21:28:36 GMT 1, My all time favourite band along with the Clash.
As a kid I listened to Abba and the Wombles, and used to play their albums on 45 as I liked the tunes but thought the music was too slow. (For you youngsters, this was on a 'gramophone', which was like an iPod but with big black things spinning round).
Then at a family friends' new years party aged 11 one of their kids played me 'Sheena' and everything in life immediately made sense.
Saw them loads but never with Tommy.
You want to know something funny? I'm skint at the moment and have been selling stuff off. One of these things was a copy of 'Sheena' fully signed by the band.
I sold it two days agoโฆ DOH!!!!!

Tommy Ramone, by astrobboy on Jul 14, 2014 22:51:55 GMT 1, I love Tommy but we can't forget Marky though - although he wasn't the original drummer, he was #2 and #5 
And played a LOT longer than all the rest (1978-83, 1987-96)

That or just sheer bad luck
