The Ramones form one of the three pillars of punk, along with the Sex Pistols and the Clash, and the debut albums from each band lie at the heart of any punk rock collection.
Here on this magnificently realized Word graphic, you can see generally how the three bands might be described, stylistically.
The Ramones cranked out a melodic and catchy brand of punk, reinterpreting surf-rock and sunny ‘60s pop in lively, amusing, and inherently irreverent two-minute bursts of punk-pop bliss.
They are an essential listen, just loads of twisted fun.
So here you have it, highlights from their first five releases. I’ve blended the albums together to feature some favorites first.
Enjoy. (I’d say it’s just about impossible not to.)
