He became interested in punk rock after hearing the Sex Pistols song "Holidays in the Sun".Armstrong has also cited Minneapolis-based bands The Replacements and Hüsker Dü as major musical influences.

Joey Ramone
Birth name-Jeffrey Hyman
Best known as-Lead singer of The Ramones
Cause of death-Cancer:Lymphoma
Joey Ramone the 6ft. 6in. talled man was the lead singer of "the Ramones," the 1970s band that was credited with beginning the punk rock movement. The Ramones played raw tunes, fast and furious, with titles like "Teenage Lobotomy" and "I Wanna Be Sedated." (The other original Ramones were Tommy, Johnny and Dee Dee.) The band formed in 1974 and finally broke up in 1996 after releasing their last album, Adios, Amigos. He did not speak to guitarist "Johnny Ramone" for many years(rumors:till his last breath) cos Johnny stole his girlfriend "Linda," remember the song "KKK Took My Baby Away." The band's name was a insider salute to "Paul McCartney," who used the stage name "Ramon" very early in his career. His solo album "Don't Worry About Me" was released in 2002 and features the single "What a Wonderful World," a cover of the Louis Armstrong standard. This album featured a song entitled "Maria Bartiromo" in tribute to the popular CNBC anchor.
Joey along with the members of the legendry "Ramones"(Johnny, Tommy, Dee Dee and Marky Ramone) was conducted as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 18, 2002.
It's so sad that Joey didn't live to experience that day, but we know how happy he is about it now, as he's watching us from punk heaven.
Patti Smith
Known to many as punk rock's poet laurete. Patti Smith is arguably one of pinoneers of punk. She began as just a girl wanting to do poetry readings, and she turned into a legend in the eyes of many punks. She used her knack for poetry and imagery to write punk songs that were worth remembering, not for their music, but for their lyrics. Patti was one of the first female punks and she pushed boundries for many that followed her. The punk scene would be very different, and lacking a lot, had Patti not come along and gave us her heart and soul in her poetry and punk music.
Duane Peters
Peters was one of the very first high profile skaters to embrace punk rock, cutting his hair short and narrowing his jeans when most skaters were still wearing 1970s fashions. As shown on an Eye on LA television segment, Duane left the punk rock movement for the softer sound of "New Romantic/White Funk" music; even forming a band by the name of Tan-Dane
Along with skateboarding, Peters is a well-known punk rock singer. He has formed bands such as the US Bombs, Political Crap, Die' Hunns (also known as Duane Peters and The Hunns), Duane Peters Gunfight, and Exploding Fuckdolls. He also owns a record label called Disaster Records,which represents bands such as The Briggs, Civet and The Hollowpoints.
In 2000, Peters formed Duane Peters and The Hunns with Rob Milucky (previously of The Grabbers and The Pushers fame.) Within two years, the band released three full-length albums and undertook both national and European tours. At a The Damned show in 2002, Peters met future wife Corey Parks, who had just left her previous band, Nashville Pussy. Parks joined Duane Peters and the Hunns on bass guitar and soon the band changed their name to Die Hunns, recorded a fourth full-length album entitled Long Legs, Die' Hunns, and embarked on another tour.
