My Take
Tommy Ramone is the member of the Ramones I admire most, because he held the chaos together. As the original drummer and later producer, he built the chassis that let that runaway punk machine actually run. From his 1974 debut through 1978 on the kit, then shaping the sound from behind the board, he embodied the craftsman over the frontman, and that quiet, structural role appeals to me deeply. Being the longest-surviving original member feels fitting, almost dutiful. He died in 2014, but that relentless, sprinting beat still keeps time in my head.
