You've got the chronology wrong. The New York scene that spawned the Ramones, Television and others predated English punk by several years. The Ramones' first album was 1975.

Not contesting the chronology... but in terms of style, the US Punks were far too melodic and musical to be classified in the same group as the UK Punks...
