The Ramones are often considered to be the first genuine punk rock band. But what famous singer inspired the band's name?

All of the band's members adopted "Ramone" as their surname, although they weren't biologically related to one another. The band was inspired by Paul McCartney, who used to check into hotels as "Paul Ramon" during the height of Beatlemania.
