RAMONES

[Sparky]

Direct from my imagination to actual, living reality.

Hear Joey Ramone Sing a Piece by John Cage Adapted from James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake

Never could have imagined it, but sure sounds good.

Randomly gave Pleasant Dreams some plays this weekend and really dug it. I was already very familiar with Sensation and KKK, but "Don't Go" and "You Sound Like You're Sick" and a bunch others had great hooks. The first four albums get all the attention, but there's a lot of gems in their other albums.

Pleasant Dreams is sort of a lost classic in my opinion. I'd even place it ahead of fan fave Too Tough to Die if I were ranking their albums. I don't think Graham Gouldman was the right producer for them - but they somehow made an enjoyable together.

I think it's great and some producers work better than others of course. But then the RAMONES were not just 1234 go they were sixties bubblegum pop with elements of glam. Fuck every time I talk about them it makes me realise just how much I miss them.

I'm in total agreement but at least I got t see them 20 times, when ever they played and they played a lot in NYC, my first show was donw in Florida and it was subterranean Jungle tour. I've seen every tour since then

In honor of their 50th anniversary here is a colorized image of their first album, I like the B/w better. Shot just across the street from my apartment. Now where the hell is the EOTC superdeluxe?!!!!!!!

Very cool. I got to see them a handful of times. Never disappointed. Rewired my brain.

Hello,

The Fab Four from Forest Hills! I saw them 8 times (I think) - always a great show (and great workout - pogoing for ~75 minutes!).

Agreed - when is End of the Century expanded coming out?
