Here is one of my later period favs, Italy 1989, one of the last with Dee Dee. I think it's great
Nice!

They missed a golden opportunity to make Paul McCartney the first Ramone.

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but Halfway to Sanity is an underrated classic.

It's a halfway underrated classic. ;)

Nah, it's all the way classic. I love mid to late 80's Ramones....actually I love all Ramones except Mondo and Acid Eaters

I used to think Halfway was only only halfway good. Oh what a fool I was. Great set of tunes. Especially the front half of the album.

RAMONES never made a bad record, and that's a fact.

Edit: a fool again!

Daniel Rey's production was perfect for their sound.

I used to dismiss it, too.

So I was correct. Halfway great and halfway good. ;)

I agree no bad RAMONES album.

My fave of the later albums is "Too Tough to Die" that album is complete quality.

I got really into their last couple albums this summer. I think they ended on a pretty high note - their sound got slightly heavier and some more psych influence (made obvious with their covers record) but still very obviously RAMONES. Fuckin' near-perfect band.

One thing I really don't like is Bill Laswell's production of Brain Drain, that drum sound is painful on the ears
