"According to one theory, punk rock all goes back to Ritchie Valens's 'La Bamba.' Just consider Valens's three-chord mariachi squawkup in the light of 'Louie Louie' by the Kingsmen, then consider 'Louie Louie' in the light of 'You Really Got Me' by the Kinks, then 'You Really Got Me' in the light of 'No Fun' by the Stooges, then 'No Fun' in the light of 'Blitzkrieg Bop' by the Ramones, and finally note that 'Blikskrieg Bop' sounds a lot like 'La Bamba.'" -- Lester Bangs, (b. 1948-12-14, d. 1982-04-30), "Protopunk: The Garage Bands", The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll, 1980
