Disco de Ramones: “Ramones”

The Ramones debut album was the first punk album. One could argue that the albums by MC5, the Stooges and, most notably, The Velvet Underground were the first punk albums. Although punk would not exist without these three bands, none of these bands are actually punk. The Ramones are truly the first real punk band. The Ramones self-titled debut ranks, along with The Clash, London Calling, and Machine Gun Etiquette as one of the greatest punk albums of all time. All 14 songs on their debut are short, catchy and full of energy. That is waht makes the Ramones so good. The standouts on this album are Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend and a great cover of Let's Dance. This is the Ramones best album and is essential to any punk fan.

Firstly, this album is great and you should buy it. That's pretty much common knowledge.

Secondly: "An unprecedentedly perfect musical expression of punk attitude, effectively conveyed without cuss words. The experience of listening to this album gets increasingly rich with each successive listen.

BTW, listen with care because this can fire you up for fighting."....

I bought the Ramones Anthology bout 2 months ago, and I had to ask myself, WHERE I HAVE I BEEN!?!?!?!?! Why have I waited soooo many years to get into the Ramones? Well their first album "Ramones" is where it ALL started!!! I CAN NOT stop listening to this CD. The opening track "Blitzkrieg Bop" just rocks. If want to know where punk STARTED, or any seriously fast rock and roll for that matter, BUY THIS CD.....NOW!!!! You will not be dissapointed. Oh and when your done buying the 1st one, buy some more!! They ALL ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pure Punk at its best. Play this cd LOUD! So many classics I don't know where to start. The best from the godfathers of punk. And yes the Ramones started before any punk band!!!!

I am a long time Ramones lover and when saw this record, became ecstatic. Upon receiving it, I immediately put it on. I love the sound that carries through it, the music sounds alive and clear. Only a slight skip, and I might have done that, so a great product all in all.
