Ramones – Ramones LP For Discount

Reissued with Superior Remastered Audio on 180g Vinyl

The Ramones sounded like nothing else when their self-titled debut came roaring onto the scene in 1976. Even so, original drummer Tommy Ramone did do a pretty good job describing the band s primal sound when he penned the quartet s press bio that same year. The Ramones all originate from Forest Hills and kids who grew up there either became musicians, degenerates or dentists. The Ramones are a little of each, he observed. Their sound is not unlike a fast drill on a rear molar.

Named the Greatest Punk Album Of All Time by Rolling Stone, and certainly one of the most important and influential albums of all time, the 29-minute masterpiece helped launch the punk rock scenes in both America and Britain, and also went on to inspire countless other artists for generations to come. Bringing a bubblegum sensibility to the fast-and-hard mentality, their primal sound is considered a blueprint for all things resembling snotty, catchy, ear-bleeding punk rock.

And with cornerstone anthems like Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, Judy Is A Punk and I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend as its first four songs alone, Ramones stature and supremacy is hard to argue.
