5.0 out of 5 stars 1,2,3, 4!, December 7, 2000

hey all,

I wholly reject anyone that says The Ramones didn't start Punk. C'mon. Sid Vicious was waving their debut around saying he wanted to sound just like them. The "brothers" Ramone graced CBGB'S littered stage in like '74, and their self-titled debut pre-dates any UK Punk band.

The Ramones! Junior High...I still have ADD and their two minute blasts brought a smile to my face. True, there are some bad songs("I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend") but for every one there's two tracks that redeem the band. Johnny Ramone didn't care if his creations only had like four chords, the boy just wanted to rock! and The Ramones early sets were only 17 minutes long...and if you wanted more? Tough!

Clearly outliving their Punk peers The Ramones have earned their place in history. I don't give a damn about the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame...Rock doesn't need one! and The Ramones don't care if their leather jackets are inside the building that does Rock a great disservice. It was a great experience seeing them. Their audience was surprisingly diverse...original first generation Punks, teens, pre-teens, and my father wearing his sweater vest dancing along to their rendition of Bobby Freeman! ha ha.

Dismiss any band that sounds just like The Ramones(death to The Queers!), this album is the real deal. slap it on the stereo, and dance along! oh, and pickup a guitar! the songs are easy enough to learn.....now go start a Punk band.

The Ramones will be missed, but certainly not forgotten.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Punk Albums Of All Time!, February 17, 2001

This review is from: Ramones (Audio CD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars How it all started, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ramones (Audio CD)

By the time it was released (1976), this CD was known as "the record that you can play at the loudest volume, at 3 o'clock in the morning, and that ends before the police arrives". Well, it is 14 tracks in just 29 minutes. This record thought Sid Vicious, Paul Simonon and lots of other heroes how to play their instruments. "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Judy Is A Punk", "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", "Chainsaw", "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue", "Havana Affair", "53rd & 3rd", "Let's Dance", "Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World", and the planet Earth is a funnier place to live...
