You see, I’ve been listening to these records for – partly – 40 years now, and of course there are some songs which I like a bit better than I like others. So I went the comfortable way, as I so often do, and concentrated on the first ten studio albums and chose one song from each of them.

With an output of 14 studio plus a few live albums in their career, it wasn’t that easy for me to decide for ten songs only. And weren’t they just marvelous each and every time?! Hearing the songs again will bring back excellent memories of their gigs, that’s for sure. So, perhaps, at the end of the day this ICA will only make those of you happy, who, like me, had the chance to see the band live a few times within the last decades. You can sue me later, Wikipedia …Īlso the tunes should – at least by and large – be known by heart by everybody, so big surprises cannot be expected below, I’m afraid. So what I did eventually just was a copy/paste – job, because I found some quotes on various sites which could turn out to be of some interest at least. You’ll find it at the very end of this essay. So here you are, problem though is that everything has already been said and wrote about The Ramones, there are no clever anecdotes of my own I could come with for your enjoyment!

If you are one of those rare creatures who never heard of them: four blokes from New York, all with the same surname, equally bad haircuts, a different drummer all the time, all dead by now. AN EPIC GUEST POSTING by Dirk of Sexy Loser fameĪs I said to JC: I really think this ICA – thingy wouldn’t be complete without an entry about The Ramones, surely one of the finest bands who ever walked the earth.
