The Ramones may not have won any major awards during their heyday, but the New York punk legends will finally be getting their due. The band will receive a lifetime achievement Grammy during a special ceremony February 12, which is the night before the televised awards show.
Other honorees this year are a whole lot less punk – Julie Andrews and Dolly Parton are also on the list. Tommy Ramone is the only member of the group who is still alive to receive the award; Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny passed away in 2001, 2002 and 2004. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
