	Tommy Ramone \| Pitchfork
		Tommy Ramone: I had seen the New York Dolls, and the idea was just to get a charismatic, sort of quirky band together.
		Pitchfork: The Ramones influence can be heard in generation upon generation of new bands, most notably with grunge in the early 90s, and with the recent garage rock revival.
		But for the Ramones, it really was a symbolic gesture of, "Yes, you guys are special, and are important to rock'n'roll." So in that sense, the Roll Hall of Fame served it's purpose.
