Ramones

A seminal statement, a defining work of the punk genre--a must-listen for anyone interested in punk and/or the evolution of rock n roll. Too much? I say no

The album was pretty much the same throughout. I didn't hear a lot of differences in the songs, but they were all pretty short which made the album tolerable for me. Best song, "Let's Dance" as even though it was a cover, the group definitely put their own spin and sound to the song. Worst song, "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue".

Really thought I would rank this higher going into it, but wasn’t as impressed as I hoped. String start to the album and then they really started to lose me. Not too long, but also didn’t impress me anymore on the second listen.

8/10

Boring

Enjoyed first half - hadn’t heard for a long time

Nice classic optimistic feel. A little repetitive but it is an album so...

Going into this with HIGH hopes, blitzkrieg bop and I wanna be sedated are some of my favourite songs of all time ( don’t disappoint me Ramones) Blitzkrieg bop- 10/10 literally generational Beat on the Brat- 6/10 dunno kinda corny tbh? Judy is a punk- 7.5/10 low key a banger I wanna be your boyfriend- 6/10 not bad but also not anything special Chain saw- 7/10 not bad at all Now I wanna sniff some glue-6.5/10 eeeh? I don’t wanna go down to the basement- 6.5/10 also just eeh tbh Loudmouth- 6.5/10 also not bad Havana affair- 5/10, really ? Listen to my heart- 6.5/10 really getting repetitive now 53rd & 3rd- 5/10 Let’s dance- 7/10 I don’t wanna walk around with you- 6/10 Today your love, Tomorrow the world-7/10 the riff on this one is cool though. Album is the definition of mediocre, really nothing special (except for b bop of course) and I found the riffs really jus tended to be the same throughout all the songs, album felt soulless and empty. Really not for me, and it’s sad cuz I love the ramones

Individually, each song is great. Danceable, a vibe. As an album however, it's basically the same thing every single time. Title of song repeated twice, then alternating lyrics repeating over the same three chord progression. I swear that halfway through the album there are three straight songs with identical instrumentals. Oh well, still had fun with it. Favorite Track: I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement

so far casi todas las canciones suenan muy parecidas pero entiendo pq es un album que si o si debes escuchar me gusto i wanna be your boyfriend esta chila

rly fun album and a good length, definitely shouldn’t have been any longer. most repetitive album i’ve heard so far tho, almost every song sounded the same and i didn’t know i had even moved on to the next song most of the time.

Classic; nice to hear more than just Hotel California

Look, I get that this is probably one of the most important albums on the list...but it really is Blitzkrieg Bop + 12 worse Blitzkrieg Bops. And Blitzkrieg Bop isn't particularly good. Also I absolutely hate his singing.

eloah: 5/10 manu: 5/10

not my favorite and a lot of the songs kind of bleed together as you listen.

todas as músicas são iguais. pelo meu gosto pessoal daria nota 2 mas o álbum deve ter sido diferente e impactante na época então vai 3.

Gosto de Ramones. É uma banda que respeito. Mas esse álbum foi realmente bem repetitivo. Melhor do álbum: "Blitzkrieg Bop". Pior do álbum: "Havana Affair". Feliz natal ;)

Não foi tão ruim quanto eu esperava, mas ainda não é pra mim... Engraçado que tem 14 músicas e ainda assim é um álbum curto. Foi uma experiência.

Pop bangers. Superb

Not really the kind of punk that usually floats my boat but I did find myself dancing for half an hour

Pretty samey

In poco repetitivo

Yes! YES!

Ramones, either you love them or you wear their t-shirt to make people think you love them.

Probably a 3 from enjoyment but 4-5 for impact.

It's rock n roll. It's catchy. It's singable. It's danceable.

Much the blueprint of what became 'Punk' for bands such as The Sex Pistols and others in speeding up and amplifying the classic 50s rock n roll formula with a stripped-down approach and sense of humour. However, it's important not to forget that The Stooges, The New York Dolls and more were already paving the way.

It's a punchy classic album. A great for boosting energy.

Hey Ho, Let's Go! These words are engraved in my memory, and became a standard line in my household when it was time to leave. Now my kids say it too. My first Ramones album was "It's Alive", where they played their first three albums in less than an hour! I was sold - raw, energetic, uncompromising punk rock'n'roll, which somehow sounded completely different from the British punk bands I grew up with. So, this is an all-time classic - never mind the bollocks telling you that all the songs sound the same - it's Blitzkrieg Rock! 5/5

Fun album with energy. A lot of short songs and many sound basically identical. You could easily look up and have listened to 5 tracks without knowing it. Blitzkrieg Bop and Beat on the Brat are the real standouts on the album. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend also.

Yep dit is inderdaad punk rock, zolderkamer met posters, emo kid op het bed die niks anders doet dan luistered en denkt hoe fucked up alles is. En m'n collega kende ze en vond het een goed album toen ik zei dat het album me aan haar liet denken dus..uh ja. Niet iets wat ik vaak zal luisteren, allemaal een beetje te same-y

I get that they're punk pioneers, but I just don't like most of these songs that much. Faves: Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat

Astronomically influential and seminal for punk and so many genres to come - but for my specific set of ears, just doesn’t do a whole lot. Can’t say I didn’t have fun though. listened to on 63 bus

Another case of trying and failing to get into punk. This is the more accessible end, there is some catchy songwriting going on for sure, and the vocals are charming, but it just doesn’t really do anything for me sadly.

What happens when you mix a bunch of incompetent musicians with a cult like band? You get The Ramones, every white girl's favorite band since they all wear their merch. It is pretty funny that the reason all of The Ramones' songs are so painfully simple isn't because they are a punk band, but instead because they simply didn't know how to play the instruments at hand. This album by no means stands the test of time but it goes to show just how Punk worked back in the day, you could be the worst musician possible and still make a classic punk album. Call this album accidental genius all you want and honestly I don't think anyone with a clear mind will object that obviously true opinion, but I will say The Ramones do have some better material off of this album but it is very far and few between at times. Yeah it is still a classic but not as amazing as a lot of people make it out to be anymore.

As an apparent punk hater (which I wish I wasn't), I wasn't thrilled when this one came up. I'm relatively familiar with the Ramones, so I wasn't absolutely bummed out because I know they don't really embody the exaggerated punk sound that I hate. This album was totally fine to listen to. Would I go back to it again? Doubtful. Does that make it a bad album? Definitely not.

1 - Can only think of the advert lol. Not bad, most popular so maybe overplayed 2 - Similar vibes to first song. Like it a bit better. 3 - like the instrumental but vocals aren't my cup of tea 4 - nope. Repetitive, boring. 5 - jarring intro lol. Follows the same vibes as the rest of the album 6 - Random. Thank god its only a minute long. Instrumental in the middle is good. 7 - fine. 8 - is this not the same song as previous. Awful lyrics ik its the 70s but still 9 - all these songs sound the same. I suppose you could chalk it up to an album following a theme but its getting a bit boring. Social commentary i think 10 - still sounds the same. Better than the ones previous 11 - interesting. Still has the motif but I like it. More commentary 12 - one of the better ones, I think its a cover 13 - is this pattern of older albums or perhaps debut albums. Repeating the same chorus 5x makes a song apparently. Again the instrumental is very good. Vocals aren't for me 14 - I like this one. Interesting to put last. Social commentary again.

Totally iconic, a perfect Ramones album. I'll admit the songs all sound the same, but hey (ho), it's a good song.

Iconic album, super important for the punk rock movement. Its simplicity probably prompted a lot of people to reconsider music as something more accessible, and led to many people playing. However, this very simplicity doesn't really help it. It gets redundant quickly, despite the songs being 2mn long on average. A fun listen, Blitzkrieg Pop is definitely a bop. But I'd never play the album on repeat

14 songs that blaze by in less than a half an hour. Haters will say all the songs sound the same and that they only use 3 chords, but it's over before that becomes an issue. God bless The Ramones.

Powerhouse of 2 minute songs so good I listened to it twice wish I had 6 stars

Cool album, not usually the type of music I like but cool nonetheless 7/10

enjoyed parts but i feel like if you took blitzkrieg bop and beat on the brat away its just … ok top 3: - blitzkrieg bop - beat on the brat - i wanna be your boyfriend* *only if you exclude the constant use of the phrase little girl which i just truly hate every time its used in songs in a romantic or sexual context its just really creepy

Blistering debut, raw and fast paced songs that range from teenage angst to love songs written by Joey Ramone, it marked a New York scene with great songs and a quick listen too. I can listen to this album any day of the week because it's not as abrasive and unlistenable as other punk albums, the singing is very clear and fun and songs are catchy too.

All songs sounds same

So dad

very spiderman-esque album

Test

I did not think I would like this but it really surprised me !! Yes the songs are a bit repetitive but we’re rocking ! Highlights - listen to my heart, I don’t wanna walk around with you, and I wanna be your boyfriend

wasn't too bad, just not my personal taste. i felt that a lot of the songs sounded the same.

1 or 2 songs that I enjoyed but found the sound so repetitive and 1 note. Not sure why this is considered such a classic. Top Songs: Blitzkrieg Bop

Iconic. As an enjoyer of punk, the similarities between tracks don't bother me - I acknowledge that it's probably annoying to the punk non-enjoyers! - and 14 tracks in under 30 minutes is the perfect serving size. I listened twice within 24 hours, and that's actually pretty rare for me with albums from this project!

Ramoans

If only the whole album didn't sound like one song... maybe that's just not my genre

very short but a classic

Bangers!

Awesome I love Punmk Rock music .

I really enjoyed it! it’s my first time listening to the full album. Felt a bit repetitive at a point but I really don’t care. I loved Today your love, tomorrow the world

Quite repetitive, I don't think this album was for me !

only listened to the first few songs, fun!

Kinda one note to me. Meh I don't love punk. Sorry Ramones fans.

Fun!

Jag tycker det är roligt! Problemet med tre ackord är att det blir lite enahanda...

Finally, some good fucking music on this list. It's Ramones. It's staple punk. It's fucking good.

Loud, fast and fun, but I guess I like my punk a bit more abrasive

I already knew Blitzkrieg Bop from this album, it’s an amazing punk song. I’m not the biggest punk fan but I enjoy the Ramones, they have a very catchy tune to them for a punk band. This is the type of punk I enjoy. To me this album is a prime example of where punk shines best, tight, catchy, melodic, but still rough around the edges with a lack of polish that really digs into you. Short, fast, loud, and straight to the point, no solos, no filler. As usual punk songs are quite short, average length of 2 minutes which I enjoy. The whole album is about 30 minutes with 14 songs, making it very easy and quite enjoyable for me to listen to. The album flies by. Most songs are under 2 minutes long, nothing overs stays it's welcome. It just punches you in the ears for 30 minutes and then stops. Blitzkrieg Bop is one of the greatest punk songs ever. What makes this album so important is how they rejected what rock had become in the 70's. No prog, no flashy musicianship, no long jams, no solos, just back to basics. They basically wrote the blueprint for punk, fast tempos, catchy hooks, and a DIY attitude that would inspire a lot of bands after it. Lyrically it’s very simple, repetitive, and sometimes dumb on purpose but that’s part of the idea. Songs about boredom, frustration, teenage angst, and not fitting in. It’s not trying to be poetic at all just trying to be loud and fun. It also has an iconic album cover, which definitely boosts the album’s overall impact and legacy. Favourite songs are Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, Judy is a Punk, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, 53rd & 3rd, Let's Dance, I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You and Today Your Love Tomorrow the World.

Sniffing glue and beating up brats with bass ball bats. Sleazy noisy snotty brash smart-mouthed gutsy direct banging primitive nihilist ageless. Ramones sound like they're chiseled from the city noise of 70s New York with the up against the wall attitude to match : the bedlam and cacophony forged into a hard beat thumping bass driving guitar and vocals so original you cant believe it. Ramones launched a revolution and listening to this it's clear to hear why.

100% stem to stern imperfectly perfect. The end.

Really great album, lots of diversity in each song. They're not all driving punk songs, a lot of them have really creative grooves. One of the best punk albums I've heard so far. Standout Tracks: Havana Affair, 53rd & 3rd, Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World

wasn't my cup of tea, maybe I'll like it another time

Ett av de få albumen då jag tar hänsyn till vilken påverkan albumet har haft för både musikvärlden och världen i allmänhet. Ett legendariskt startskott för punk-eran. Stor respekt för detta. Musikaliskt får albumet en trea då jag har svårt för sångarens röst.

Bit repetitive

enjoyed how it was not too long haha. punk isnt my favourite, but it was an ok listen. blitzkrieg pop is amazing tho.

An okay album, several songs sounded the same to me. I liked Blitzkrieg Bop the most.

all of these songs sound like blitzkrieg bop

Fair

Not the Pistols but very good.

I learned to play bass along to this album 20+ years ago. The first and the best.

Classic British punk. Solid rhythm and guitar throughout

Short, sweet, and uptempo is the vibe of the album. The longest track is a mere 2:40 in length, and it does not seem to be the most musically complex album. This simplicity, though, along with its generally fun tunes and driving instrumental section, make it a enjoyable punk rock album.

This is my second album so far and I can say that I don’t really listen to a lot of the Ramones but it was decent to me. It has some classics, my favorite was ‘I wanna be your boyfriend’ and again I didn’t have a least favorite. I will say it sounded like one really long song.

Love the opening, I’m hooked. I never knew Blitzkrieg Bop was a Ramones song. I like it. It rocks. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue is an all time song name. I love a sub 30min album that still feels complete and cohesive. So much fun, perfect for a Friday! I don’t listen to punk so this statement has no weight but this might be the perfect punk album for me

321/1089 - Very homogoneus and the singer sounds like how deaf people talk. I like Post-Punk better when there's more intrresting lines going on and less power chords.

fun stuff

i could get addicted to something like this

Happy to see this album today.

I remember playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and restarting levels over and over to try and get Blitzkrieg Bop to play. Somehow I never actually tried to hear the album it came from. I feel like had I listened to it then, I probably would have loved it. Hearing it now, I respect it, and I love the energy of music. This album is such a great example of just having fun with making music. It’s simple and fun. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great listen.

One of the greatest albums of all time…IMO

They rock, still prefer rocket to russia as the b side of this I feel like is no where near as catchy. Biltzkrieg bop is an amazing amazing song. Really like the new mono mixes.

Tons of fun. Same song over and over but still good and short enough to not be bad

Songs: "Beat on the Brat" 7/10, Thoughts: They sound British but it seems they are all from New York. Cool guitars. Upbeat music. God they sound SO British lol. Easy to see why they were so influential for their time, but a little dated. I don't think it's an Evergreen album to me. The songs kind of blend together because the guitar is the same in all the songs. They songs are all 2 minutes or under, I like that a lot. This is the "hey ho, let's go" band. Rating: 5/10. Not really my cup of tea TBH. But I can see why the band is so iconic.

7.5 / 10

Just some boys having some fun. Delightful.

Oh no it’s all short and repetitive!!! That’s. The. Fucking. Point.

14 tracks, 29 minutes, pure punk awesomeness. This album is a lot of fun, some of the most high energy stuff to come out of the 1970s. It's very difficult not to move around while listening to this. So many have been influenced by the Ramones, it's kind of amazing the staying power this short-lived band had. The only minor flaw I found was most of the songs have a VERY similar musical structure, but that doesn't take away from how much fun it is. Very solid 4/5

Legendary album from a legendary band. Through a modern lens, it can seem a bit hackneyed, but that's just a testament to the album's lasting influence. Punk becomes mainstream in a way that is both hard hitting and accessible, making it a perfect entry point to punk rock. As with all good punk bands, if you don't know the song when you start listening, you'll be singing along by the end. The songs are just long enough to leave you wanting more before jumping on to the next song, keeping the energy level up and making you want to dance along.

the same song over and over.

What was groundbreaking back then, doesn’t really hit home for me now. I can appreciate the influence it had on the punk scene but I can’t, in good faith, rate this any more than a 2 because all the songs are derivatives of each other. It’s truly hard to discern the difference between songs after “Blitzkrieg Bop”, which is a bop.

Every song sounded like a remix of the first one. Luckily I dig the sound

really good very heavy but still fun. loved how so many songs started with one two three, made me giggle

A couple bangers, but most of the songs sound identical and repetitive. Just listen to Blitzkreig Bop (though I bet you already have).

not really into punk, but this album had some nice tracks that I enjoyed listening too

A sea change at 33 1/3 RPMs

A classic.

Standouts Blitzkrieg Bop Let's Dance

If this is what it took to give birth to an entire genre... I don't know.

Ramone are junk

Nice guitars. not fussed on vocals. High energy and pretty enjoyable. 7/10

Blitzkrieg Bop and then a bunch of short similar songs lol

Fun - took me to music I liked like Gang of four..

Brilliant album. Short and punchy. Straight to the point, tight and no messing.

1970s Punk Rock 53rd & 3rd by Dee Dee. Street popular for prostitution.

Fun but pretty basic.

Sometime you just want to sniff some glue. Gabba gabba hey!

Rock en pequeñas pildoras. Gran actitud. Musicalmente flojos, pero es de agradecer su existencia.

Love my punk and The Ramones are one of the originals and only a few American punk banks make the cut ,the DKs being the best of the bunch. This is fast pace and does what I says on the tin and was iconic at the time

I know this is prototypical punk, and they embody punk, and I do like punk, but I don't like these guys. It's important in that they laid down the most basic possible punk and is a starting point for more interesting (to me) bands.

Eh it's alright

Very cool

Love ABBA

Ok

Favorite track(s): Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue Heard before Previous rating: 7/10

One of the first punk rock albums that still holds up today. Best track is Judy is a punk but ultimately the whole album is easy to listen to and most songs are not that different to one other.

If your streaming service forced you to only listen to artists from one city, it would be hard to top New York City. The early to mid-1970s bands set the scene for punk and new wave: Velvet Underground, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, Television, Blondie, Talking Heads and, of course, Ramones. Listening to this album was like being hit in the face with fourteen equally short, but intense rays of sunshine.

and they complain that electronica is repetitive... highlights - blitzkrieg bop, i wanna be your boyfriend, now i wanna sniff some glue, 53rd & 3rd, today your love, tomorrow the world

All time classic!

So good I listened to it twice! One of my all-time faves.

3.5/5

pää tässä hyppii niskat kipeäksi. Ääni on vanhahko ja laatu on kärsinyt nykystandardeissa mutta tuo se jotain siihen. Tuotantoarvot... Oikein hauskaa meinikiä ei voi mitään.

Love it and also every song sounds the same

Good listen, Blitzkrieg Bop is a classic but it feels like it never gets better than that

I've never listened to an entire Ramones album. I did have a punk phase in my early teens but never listened to a lot outside of those few years. My feelings going in are mostly lukewarm. The guy showing midriff on the album cover is entertaining. Track 1, Blitzkrieg Bop. I've heard this song hundreds of times. I never gave it a focused listen though. It's a decent song. I never noticed the backup vocals in the chorus, they're probably my favorite part of the song now. Track 2, Beat on the Brat. I have also heard this one many times. I'm sure it was super badass in 1978 but it's just ok to me now. Track 3, Judy is a Punk. Good song. More tambourine than I'm comfortable with though. Track 4, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend. There's that tambourine again... Now that I've noticed it, I'm going to be hyper-aware of it for the remainder of the songs. Not a huge fan of this song for some reason. Track 5, Chain Saw. Track 6, Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue. I quite enjoyed the instrumental section after the first verse. Track 7, I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement. It's the same verse 3 times in a row. Maybe about child molestation. Track 8, Loudmouth. Pretty average stuff here. Track 9, Havana Affair. Starts off sounding pretty good. This is on the top of the heap for me so far. Track 10, Listen to My Heart. More like listen to my tambourine, amirite!?!!? Seriously though, this song isn't great. Track 11, 53rd & 3rd. Forgettable. Track 12, Let's Dance. Tambourine. Some organ near the very end that I liked. Just ok. Track 13, I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You. Fourth song using the word "wanna" in the title. Approximately 13 unique words in the whole song. Track 14, Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World. I like the verse section. I don't hate this album though I wish that it had just a little more depth. I completely realize that the Ramones aren't known for their well-constructed musical masterpieces and to look back at this record 47 years after its release and criticize it's depth amounts to stupidity. This was a catalyst record more than anything. How many current and past punk bands would cite the Ramones as an influence? I am guessing that it would be a lot. Sometimes it's good to go back to the roots of a genre and listen to the albums that influenced everyone that came afterwards. That being said, as I listen to it now, the overly simplistic songs with a dash of added British accent(not afraid to show their influences) don't completely hit for me but don't completely miss either.

On comprend l'influence que ça a pu avoir. C'est pas l'album du siècle en revanche.

They’re not as one-dimensional as I thought. But all they’ve got is a red guitar, three chords, and the truth.

There’s some bops (ha) on this one. Good for punk.

Good sound. Untextured. Raw. Obviously very influential to punk rock. 2.6 outta 5

The Ramones are one of those bands that influenced everyone else to make better music than them

Great punk album that influenced a lot of rock musicians. Highlights: "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "Let's Dance"

Punk rock, good fun

52rd & 3rd

Oi Oh! Let's Go! I don't always enjoy pink, but this one is pretty great. They show up, say their piece and leave without overstaying their welcome. And it's very obvious that this became the blueprint for many many many punk bands since Standouts Blitzkrieg Bop Beat on the Brat 5/5

de certo modo, me lembrou os primeiros álbuns do KISS, que eu particularmente gosto, porém, Ramones não é pra mim. entendo a atitude presente nas músicas e letras, mas me escapa o apelo. *2/5 all-stars encardidos*

It's a prototypical punk album. Not much to say, it's a bit more melodic than some of the stuff that would develop onwards. Decent listen but not much to really dive into

this record is the epitome of "...ok". i get why its important in musical history, but it gets samey and predictable after a while. "influential" doesn't automatically mean "great" 5.3/10

So good!! H loved it too

I, disgracefully, had never listened to this album until now. 30 minutes of brilliance.

Fun! I can absolutely see how this has inspired so much of punk and rock beyond it. In terms of listening to it right now, there's a handful of songs here and there I'd be glad to go back to (Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Now I Wanna Sniff, Lets Dance, Today Your Love) but even though each song is super short, 30 minutes of it all is too much in one listen. Maybe I really am getting old

I just don't think I'm a fan of punk lol. Thankfully punk tracks are pretty short, but even so, I would love for them to actually GO somewhere.

Super fun! If every song was 2 1/2 minutes, this album would be king!

Is there any type of music that polarizes opinions more than punk? If you want something loud that you can shout or scream along to, lets you vent rage or desperation or nervous energy, that never sounds corny or sleepy or weird, then this is for you. And credit to the band, these short songs get in and out without lingering too long on anything. If you want melody, harmony, innovation, chords you've never heard, comfort, poetry, or sweetness, there's nothing here for you. My main criticism is that this album offers the same thing, over and over again. That may appeal to some. Not to me.

Good but felt I was listening to the same song

Comparable to consuming a 9 pack of frubes in one sitting. Entertaining to begin with but becomes a bit repetitive. Also a hit or a miss depending on flavour. Enjoyable on the odd occasion but not an essential on the weekly shopping list.

1/10 - Not a fan of this band or album. - Think they literally use about 3 chords on the entire album. - Every song sounds the same, mainly cause you can’t understand any of the lyrics over the 3 chords crying out the guitars. - If you like energetic early punk rock then this might be exactly what you want to hear. However for myself it’s not for me, but that’s art for ya! So I’ll quit Romoaning.

Never listened to the full album before. Really enjoyed it

Worthwhile listen but wasn’t over the moon with the album as a whole, couple decent songs in there, blitskreig is indeed a bop

Not a huge fan of that type of rock so sitting through a full album after getting burnt out at blitzkrieg bop was a pain.

Full of energy. Early punk counter to glam, prog, etc. so refreshing at the time. A bit same same though.

An insult to humanity that this is on the top 1001 albums of all time.. Was enjoying at first 2 classic songs until the same 3 thrashy chords and song rhythm got very boring

Some bangers, some not so much. “Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend” 🤨 dunno about that

Some good tunes but all songs were extremely similar. Would listen to a select few again.

I like

An excellent album, the best songs on here are classics. That said I’m going to stop at 4+ stars because there are definitely a few songs that aren’t quite at the level of rest of the album.

4 Stars - some great stuff on here and some filler too. Not ready to make this a 5 star epic pick just yet.

This is a pretty good album, I would probably give it more like a 3.5 if I could.

Short fast and loud. I love how in another world, this could have been a very poppy record. Definitely a classic. Now I wanna sniff some glue!

Ramones have always been the „epic“ Punk band, I liked the least. Songs sound very samey and the overall sound feels pretty harmless. There were better band options imho. Fav: Let‘s dance

Wasn't special

No es mi onda, entiendo la signficancia cultural (? pero no lo vale para mi. Me duele la cabeza 10/11/2025 2/5

Yawn

Doesn’t sound like they cared when they were making it, so why should I care about it when listening to it?

Havana Affair --> Listen to My Heart --> 53rd and 3rd....fuuuuuuuuck I pretty much have this entire album memorized

Fun introduction, will definitely listen to more of their music. More beats than lyrics oriented I feel. Maybe a revisit some time down the road may be needed..

Big fan. Such a great album.

I’ve never understood why they’re held in such high esteem, it sounds like some greasy record executive heard punk and put together the punk Monkees, the Punkees if you will, the difference being that the Monkees had tracks. The best thing about Ramones is the logo, the second best is how they mastered the manipulation of time itself, making 29 minutes feel like 2 hours.

Possibly a low rating because what was a revolutionary sound when the album was released now sounds like the beginnings of a larger genre that's been improved upon.

Punk is dead

- Had er meer van verwacht - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 1 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM

Blitzkrieg Bop still rocks and I still do not like Beat on the Brat.

Listened Before? Y Good stuff. Classic American punk rock mixed with retro 60's style pop themes. The album stalls out a bit in the middle but starts and finishes strong. Awesome. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

Rough sounds but clean sounding; blunt delivery but sharp lyrics.

Stupid teen screaming

Where punk formally began and got its name. Say no more.

I know these songs. Fun pop-style punk. Very hard to distinguish one song from another.

7.6 - Fine album. Nice classic older rock. Favorites were Blitzkrieg Bop (8.4), Judy is a Punk (7.8), Listen to my Heart (7.8). Least favorite was Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue (7.3)

A good reminder to up and coming punks- its better to be short and sweet than it is to overstay your welcome

Heard it before. In fact I've heard it multiple times because each time I thought "I've never listened to any Ramones albums" before checking my stats and realizing I have, in fact, listened to this very album already. Nothingburger of an album and the most overrated punk band ever 1/5

Iconic sound - very repetitive. Lots of energy. Favourites: Blitzkrieg Bop Havana Affair 53rd & 3rd

Not for me

Me: These songs are all jams! Me after ten songs. Oh, it's because they're all the same exact beat just with slightly different notes. No really, listen to the first few seconds of "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Havana Affair", and "Listen to My Heart". They're slight variations on the same thing. At the same time, this album is non-stop punk rock at its pinnacle. On top of that, it has "Judy Is a Punk", which was used to perfection in The Royal Tenenbaums when Raleigh St. Clair (Bill Murray) and Richie (Luke Wilson) learn about Margot's (Gwyneth Paltrow) past relationships. So while I have to dock this for it all blending together, it's just too much fun to give anything less than a 4/5.

It’s the Ramones. It’s great. It’s one of the few albums on this list that actually leaves me wanting more.

14 songs in under 30 minutes — Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue. That sums up the energy here: raw, fast, and unapologetic. I get why people love it and why it was so influential, but these days it just sounds like generic garage-band punk rock.

Kiekvienos dainos melodija ta pati. Blitzkrieg bop įsimintiniausia.

14 songs in 29 minutes. One of the best bands of all time. This is flawless. 5/5

- Some great songs on here - a handful of bangers, for sure. - Yeah, there’s a lot of blending of songs, but each one is distinct from each other, especially after a few listens. I think it doesn’t really help that the production feels kind of muddy. And there isn’t a lot of range in the vocals, fuzzy power chords, and drum beat. - The energy is fun, it starts at 100 and stays there almost the whole time. I think it would be a really amazing live show, it’s good to work out to, and I can't deny their influence, so rounding up from a 3.5.

A pure manifestation of early punk, of course it deserves to be on here. It's a record that I rarely ever seek out as it's maybe that little bit too pure compared to the sort of punk I typically like (UK anarcho wave, crust and hardcore mostly), but it always promises a good time and offers a firm reminder of just how important/influential it really was.

29 min of classic punk rock bangers

Really great

Super Dope

To me, the Ramones embodied what “punk” is. Each track overflows with the sheer, joyful, nihilistic abandon that makes punk so great. This is peak punk perfection. Full stop. 5⭐️

Fun 70s/80s grunge rock, starting off strong with Blitzkrieg Bop - enjoyable listen all the way through

Slaps hard. Love the "Havana affair" cover

Not for me

Ramones — дебютный студийный альбом группы Ramones, записанный в 1976 году и выпущенный в этом же году американским лейблом Sire Records. Будучи одним из самых первых и главных релизов в истории панк-рока, альбом оказал значительное влияние на впоследствии известные панк-рок-коллективы США и Британии. В 2012 году альбом Ramones попал в число 50 звукозаписей, выбранных библиотекой Конгресса США для помещения в фонд Национального реестра звукозаписей, в который попадают «культурно, исторически или эстетически важные» звукозаписи XX века. 1. Blitzkrieg Bop - бодренько. Хорошее открытие альбома. 2. Beat On The Brat - ээээ глубокомысленный текст. Нравится рок-гитарка. 3. Judy Is a Punk - о, мне сходу нравится инструментал! Очень панково. Забавно, что они решили написать песню о реальных фанатичных поклонниках. 4. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend - не знаю, что выделить 5. Chain Saw - нравится! прикольная гармонизация на фоне. Звучит как санудтрек к какому-то подростковому фильму. 6. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue - ...глубоко. Бас-гитара крутая! Хотелось, чтобы песня была подлиннее и было больше развития, а так кульно. 7. I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement - забавный смысл. Очень доставляет инструментал, барабаны круто дополняют. 8. Loudmouth - инструментал похож на предыдущую песню. 9. Havana Affair - не знаю, что выделить, но в целом, мне понравилось 10. Listen to My Heart - нравится. 11. 53rd & 3rd - слегка поинтереснее остальных треков. Зная предысторию, весьма жёсткое впечатление. 12. Let's Dance - качово. 13. I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You - тоже поинтереснее, классный инструментал, прикольный акцент на фразе. 14. Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World - не понимаю я конечно этих нацистских штучек в альбоме, но инструментал как всегда вытягивает. Наверное, следует помнить, что это один из первых панк-рок альбомов вообще, поэтому он слегка обыденный, не сказала бы, что он чем-то поражает. Довольно монотонное настроение на весь альбом. Но уважаю за вклад. К своему удивлению, большинство треков я всё же добавила. Мне не очень нравится стиль пения у солиста, а вот инструменталы прикольные. Что удивило, несмотря на то, что в альбоме 14 треков, он прослушивается всего за полчаса, потому что нет ни одной песни дольше трёх минут. Я-то думала, это только нынче тенденция такая, а они уже тогда просекли. В общем, на троечку, наверное? Неплохо.

Apparently I'm not a huge fan of The Ramones. I like their cohesive sound and their history, but did get bored throughout the album, potentially with so many shorter songs.

Energisk. Egentligt bedre, end jeg havde forventet. Nok en hjælp, at albummet er kort, men det er udmærket.

short and punchy. a great, fun album

There’s one absolutely incredible album across the first three Ramones albums. I still enjoy them individually though.

This album was a big deal to me once. Then I turned 15. 3 stars for the sense of nostalgia.

7/10

Had to remove a point for the excessivr ‘hey little girl’-ing but accept that ‘age appropriate adult woman’ doesn’t have the same ring.

Lots of energetic, fun tunes and snarling attitude that puts the “punk” in punk rock. It would be a 4 exc every song sounds the same. High, enjoyable 3.

It is pretty funny because this is basically an album made by crazy druggies trying to sound like The Beatles. And in a lot of ways they succeeded! It is 100% punk and the mixing is really cool. I’d never listened to this before - but honestly I actually like it. This early punk is more “musical” and to me more accessible than later Misfits-type music and then of course hardcore and other sub genres that spun off. This is where it all began!

Quite a interesting album, not really for me but for 70's I can see this will be a big deal 3/5

popravljaju raspoloženje i jesu vajb, ali imam osecaj kao da sam poslušala jednu DUUUUGAAAAČKU pesmu, a ne 14 kraćih

Classic punk that’s fast and in your face. Energy is infectious on this one, but it’s just a little too samey to hit a 5 star rating for me.

Very good

Fílaði þetta

Ansi hröð og choppy lög.

I like it. I understand the cultural significance and I'd probably have fun playing these songs on the guitar. Simple songs can be great and these might be, but the record feels too repetitive for me.

to be honest, all songs sounded almost the same. all they are just 4 chords, bass is almost always just 1/16 notes. did not get annoying, but wasn't exciting either. maybe it is not my style. 2

Blitzkreig Bob and some other mildly good tunes

oh dang this is a hard review. This album is objectively iconic. Pioneers in the punk scene. That said, this whole album lacks diversity. Each song sounds pretty much the same. I recognize this album influenced an entire genre, but I'm not sure we needed so many song doing the same thing.

I’d really give it a 3.5

🍌🍌🍌

(100/100)

It’s raw and energetic but repetitive. I would give it a 3 but I gave the previous album a 4 and they probably got a lot of influences from Ramones. So 4 it is

I hope this sound wasn’t played out in the sixties because it certainly is now. The same song 10/14 times

Relentless! The songs come thick and fast. They all sound the same, but they all sound like Ramones, sop that's fine.

Classic

The Ramones help make the punk sound mainstream. This a great, fun, and short album.

3/5

Easily one of the greatest punk albums of all time.

Classic punk album

It’s kinda repetitive but I do think it’s pretty iconic and I love a lot of these songs

andddddddd... imma keep it real chief but the ramones kick ass

Melodically beautiful, sonically blastful and lyrically irreverent. Overall, really raw and dirty, especially for the time they debuted. Idc if it's not an "artwork" or smt this is the bible of punk rock. Simple and yet perfect 🤘

Muy divertido y obviamente con tremenda importancia histórica. De esos que uno solo puede imaginarse todo lo que provocaron cuando salió. Escuchándolo hoy creo que es muy evidente que es la misma canción repetida 14 veces, pero vaya: cuando se escucha lo bien que se la está pasando la banda y lo buenos que son para contagiarlo, es imposible no disfrutar álbumes como este.

Upbeat punk with a touch of doo-wop. Still pretty hard to beat.

A lot of energy with songs that generally have a good vibe. The production doesn't sound the greatest to me as instruments sound a bit muddy on plenty of songs creating a same-y vibe to a lot of songs that I suspect wouldn't be there live.

Yes!

boring… not much content? exhibitionist. the songs don’t mean anything and all sound the same

One of the most important albums ever made.

This is the first time I'm getting an album that has a song I actually know. I have a lot of feelings towards this album. I understand where it's coming from and how it was revolutionary in a way for its time, but I can't help but think this is music meant to be listened to live, as listening to it on my own makes it very underwhelming. The Ramones were more interested in being loud than in being interesting, it sounds like. Still, it's not a BAD album, but it's trying something and not quite achieving it.

Is Blitzkreig Bop a bop? Yes it is. Do the Ramones have an overly large place in music history? Also Yes. Does every song sound pretty much the same? Yes.

Sometimes, simplicity is good. The Romones are a straight forward, in your face, all gas no brakes type of band. The problem that comes with this, is all the songs sound the same. So honestly it’s an internal debate for me. But personal bias, I like the Ramones.

Difícil em. Muito repetitivo, mas tem algumas boas.

Great to listen to these purveyors of punk. However, it becomes to repetitive.

It’s a classic for a reason.

They massa-creed this record

The best thing about the Ramones is just when their schtick starts to get old the song is over

Catchy and fun

Perfect! The songs are short and to the point while having a real punch.

3.8

I know it's a classic but I feel too dumb for me. But I enjoy a few songs.

Punchy, raw, straight to the point and completely raucous for 30 mins straight. Yes, there is an element of similarity between tracks, but what were you expecting? For them to turn into Queen or ABBA (or any other 70s stars) for a track or two and then seamlessly turn back in order for some variety? It's hard hitting punk from start to finish.

Blitzkrieg Pop hey ho let's go...that's one I recognized. But otherwise it's still a punk album...which I'm tired of. It's just not my music, it's too repetitive :(

Yeah just make the same song 12 times and it'll fundamentally shape the punk genre. Good job.

3.7

same song 15 times. good thing its a decent one

Perfect album.

It's one song over and over but it's also one very fun very good song

Enjoyed it, to me a very simple punk sound with simple lyrics - I guess that's the appeal. Not really for me though.

I like covers of the Ramones better than Ramones.

Smithers, have The Rolling Stones killed. But sir, those aren’t… Do as I say! Another one I own a physical copy of. What a great album. Ramones rock the fuck out, but only in 2 minute bursts. 4.5⭐️

Groundbreaking album for sure - awesome listen, just not a lot of replayability for me.

For a lot of the hooks it’s just the title of the song over and over until you get bored of it. There are really simple power chords in the background of each song. The electric guitar and drums are very prominent parts of this style. Very catchy to be honest. Blitzkrieg Bop, let’s dance, and Beat on Brat really stick out to me on this album. A very punk rock album of the 70’s. Not my cup of tea and this is my rating so it’s getting a 1 out of 10.

No, I didn't get into this despite the Ramones being a very influential band. Not my cuppa tea.

Remind misfits

Que albúm gostoso de se ouvir!!

I think it’s a 5. A few tracks right after Blitzkreig bop aren’t amazing, but then the rest of the album flows so well. It’s good enough, I get how influential this album was. Poppy enough, punchy, great simple guitars. Love it

Would be easy to give this album a 1 because of its repetitive nature. But it’s fun and it’s quick

Vibe but all the songs were kinda the same

it's impressive at the time, but not as much as now. basically you repeat the same sound and do it to 14 songs. the sound is very good but at time goes on it gets much boring and tiring at the same time. the lyrics are ok tho favs: bleigzkriet pop, judy is a punk least favs: 53rd and 3rd, i don't wanna walk around with you final rating: 6/10

Every track begins with "one two three four..." As for the cover picture, the guys on the far left and far right bought their wigs from the same place.

Great sounds and I've heard it in countless movies and commercials but after listening to the album all the songs have the same (great) sound.

Simplistic, repetitive nonsense. Love it. Really easy to listen to and although I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it as an album before, I seem to know most of the songs. Massively influential and a classic of its type. Really enjoyed it as well.

fucking perfect

I wasn't into punk in period. Nearly 50 years later and listening to this I find my opinion hasn't changed. Detached from 'the scene', it is better than I remember and perhaps compares favourably with some of the things that followed. This isn't something I'd choose to listen to. 2/5

So what if all the songs sound the same? They're all a jolt to the neck.

I recognize what Ramones did for music. They're legends. But I can't listen to an entire album.

A soild album from start to finish. Was it Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and who was the fourth....oh ya and the drummer was Tommy Ramone!

Better than Coldplay

I was excited to jam this album as I have enjoyed the Blitzkrieg Bop in movies, commercials, and on the radio my entire life. The album as a whole felt one dimensional with little differentiating the songs. The Ramones had a distinctive sound, but I fear it was the only sound they could make.

So grungy so great

"Blitzkrieg Bop"... So THAT'S what they're singing! Definitely a rocking tune. The music overall isn't my style but I love the guitar sound.

One hit wonder. 30 minutes I will never get back.

Bit of a mixed bag musically but very enjoyable.

Very different technicality-wise to yesterday’s ELO album but both worth the same amount of credit for breaking ground I think. Ramones have worked out their formula here and although the songs aren’t radically different from each other the noise they make is great and essentially the foundations of punk.

Was never a fan but cannot deny how three chords riffs made me keep listening

I like the Ramones, have done for years, and always enjoy throwing them on for a spin every so often. I’m torn between giving this a 3 or a 4, mainly because whilst I like them I also think that a lot better bands and albums exist out there. I can enjoy an album whilst appreciating it’s not the greatest album (or band), or even close to being, out there. So… fun album. Guess I’m giving it a 3.

This was the first album I ever owned, it influenced so much.

I didn't like this much when it came out but I've warmed up to it a bit over the years.

Great early punk album.

Hell. Yes. I live for The Ramones. Every song is a winner on this album. The tightest 29 minutes in punk rock history.

Blitzkrieg pop is leuk. Maar alle volgende nummers zijn gewoon hetzelfde. Zonder de 1, 2, 3, 4 tussen alle nummers zou ik oprecht niet geweten hebben wanneer het volgende nummer zou beginnen. Tijdens Blitzkrieg pop dacht ik aan 4 sterren, er blijft er jammer genoeg maar 1tje over

Liked this. It’s good that I liked the first song because the rest were no different really.

I honestly don't even think this is punk. Or at least what most people think of punk. It's less annoying. It's just more straightforward rock with loud guitars and sometimes that's all you need. Another group I'm shocked only has one album on this list as Rocket to Russia isn't bad either.

Скучно одинаково. Но интересно посмотреть через эту музыку на то поколение

Full of nice, short and catchy punk-tracks - each one a gem of the genre. I don't want to sit still with this sound. But like often with punk: a whole album becomes a bit repetitive. Weak four stars. favourite: "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Beat On The Brat" 3,5
