This was surprising. Not a Ramones song anyone usually reacts to. Usually, it's I Want to be Sedated or Blitzkrieg Bop. Kudos

What a great reaction and sum up! Thank you from a pre-teen '70s punk! The Ramones were sneered at and jeered by our parents, but we loved them anyway.

Ritchie was the drummer here, the three albums he plays on are my favourite Ramones albums (Too Tough To Die, Animal Boy, Halfway To Sanity).

Oh yeah! He was really good. My friends played a gig with him a few years ago. What do you think of Subterranean Jungle? I love it, since about 83 when I was 11. Also love the ones you listed. Pretty much all Ramones LP's but SJ was the first. Along with Talking Heads- Speaking In Tongues also in '83🤓👽🎸

I wasn't the world's biggest Ramones fan, but songs like "Blitzkrieg Bop", "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Sheena Was a Punk Rocker" were kind of ubiquitous during my high school years. Because of this, for nostalgic purposes, I find myself smiling when I hear them. Nothing wrong with like The Ramones. They were kind of like the answer to the corporate rock "problem" that so many saw as taking the individuality and uniqueness out of rock music. Were they actual punk? Who knows and who cares. They made some great three minute songs.

The Ramones, though good, were not the earliest punk band by a long shot. For an earlier and more representative sound of American Punk, I highly recommend listen to an early 70s band called The Dolls of New York, or also referred to as the New York Dolls. David Johannsen, the lead vocalist, really was an iconic punk figure, one who later had a major pop hit in the 80s in a re-invention of himself under the name Buster Poindexter. Also, a band called MC5 out of Detroit in the late 60s, were kind of pre-punk, and would be a good listen. I think you'd actually like both a lot more than you might expect.

The Ramones were an original punk band from the CBGB's days in the Bowery in NYC. They were from Forest Hills, Queens NYC, and were surprisingly heavily influenced, according to the band members themselves, by The Beatles and Elvis Presley, just speeded up. Got to see them three times in their prime and it was always a fast, heavy, energetic show. They are also a major part of the movie "Rock and Roll High School", which is also the title of one of their songs. Along with: "Blitzkrieg Bop", "I'm A Teenage Lobotomy", "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker", "The KKK Took My Baby Away", "Pinhead", "Do Ya Wanna Dance", "We're A Happy Family", "California Sun", "Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio?", "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Pet Semetary". Hey Ho Let's Go!

Phil Spector didn't Produce this album. He did produce the End of the Century album. If I remember correctly I believe Animal Boy was produced by Jean Beauvier of the Plasmatics.
