 * Rife with unsourced statements. Just in the first subsection:
 * "They became friends with Douglas Colvin, whose family had recently moved to the area."
 * "Jeffrey Hyman was in the short-lived early 1970s glam rock band Sniper."
 * "The Ramones began taking shape in early 1974 when Cummings and Colvin invited Hyman to join them in a band. The initial lineup featured Colvin on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Cummings on lead guitar, and Hyman on drums."
 * This entire paragraph: "A friend of the band..."
 * "Around this time, a new music scene was emerging in New York centered around two clubs in downtown Manhattan—Max's Kansas City and, most famously, CBGB (usually referred to as CBGB's)."
 * "The band swiftly became regulars at the club, playing there seventy-four times by the end of the year."
 * "By this time, the Ramones were recognized as leaders of the new scene that was increasingly being referred to as "punk"."
 * Too many paragraphs begin with the "In/On [year/date]," construction. (This is minor, but easily corrected.)
 * The three music samples exceed the 10% of track length maximum, lack or have insufficient fair use rationales and lack captions.
