Product Description Sex Pistols the first punk rockas? Feggedaboudit! Punk is as American as the Ramones, formed in Forest Hills, New York, in 1974. They were on their third LP when the Pistols debuted. Keying off their '60s U.S. pop and garage-band influences while sneering at the bloated state of '70s rock, Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy virtually invented the loud 'n' snotty punk style and 'tude, playing in Bowery dives like CBGB. The band scored a deal with Sire Records and soon conquered the world, but on their own terms. By their 2,263rd, and final, concert in August 1996, the Ramones had outsmarted and outlasted most of their critics-and inspired countless followers. Now the godfathers of punk take a rocket to Rhino on this two-CD career-spanning collection. Produced with the band's cooperation, Hey! Ho! Let's Go! contains nearly 60 hard 'n' fast tracks from 14 albums, from 1976's Ramones to 1995's Adios Amigos-that's more than two-and-a-half hours of peak-volume punk. Also includes a hardback book gathering rare photos and memorabilia, along with extensive liner notes. .com Like most true originals, the Ramones embodied a dizzying array of contradictions. As punk godfathers, they became the archetype for a rebellious musical ethos that could often confuse the baby for the bath water, yet at heart they were 1960s pop- and bubblegum-worshipping reactionaries. The seeming unity symbolized by their street-hood uniform (ripped jeans, deck shoes, and black leather jackets) and name (nicked from an early nom de plume of Beatle Paul) belied turmoil both personal and personnel. And the dumber-than-dumb stance of the likes of "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue," "Cretin Hop," and "Teenage Lobotomy" actually masked some of the shrewdest rock ever recorded. If Rhino/Warner Archive's two-disc anthology seems like hardly enough room to document a band with a quarter-century legacy, it's good to remember that the Ramones prided themselves on stripping every song they attempted to its elemental core, then halving it again with their patented buzzsaw, double-stop tempo. Journalist David Fricke's enclosed history is telling, if ironically packaged in a glossy hard-back edition that seems more befitting the likes of Fleetwood Mac. The nearly five dozen tracks here, reaching from the early '70s to the late '90s, stand remarkably outside of time--just like true originals. --Jerry McCulley

It's this good and it's true
Honestly, I was a little worried when I bought this that it was too good to be true, but it's f***ing fantastic. All my CDs are for my car, and warning: these CDs may cause speeding. But I've gone two years at least, owning many CDs, and barely being able to play anything besides The Slow Poisoner (except Best of the Doors, Waiting for the Sun (The Doors), and Bodies by AFI) until these CDs came along. Now I can't take the Ramones out of my stereo. Great variety and also great order of songs.

I have NEW favorite songs! Too bad these guys are gone. These two discs are great listening in the car... Never fail to cheer me! And "She talks to rainbows" talks to ME!! 😍

In touch
These guys are in touch with a whole generation of young people surviving early adulthood. "I wanna be sedated" a song from 1975 was as poinant a piece in the 90s as it was when written. In fact, if you check you'll find National Public Radio established a few years ago it was one of the top 100 most influential songs in American music of the 20th century. To me, the Ramones are to the late 70's what the "Who" were to the late 1960's. Just awesome... "Tommy can you hear me?... Yes, and I wanna be sedated!"

God bless the Ramones for saving Rock N Roll !!!!
So my new nephew (my brother's stepson..) was talking to me about the music he likes... When I mentioned that there are some bands that.. literally... changed my life, I mentioned the Ramones... He looked me in the eyes and (no lie..) and said "Who are the Ramones??" (WHAT ?!?!??!) ... I looked over at his Mom and said "What are they teaching our kids in school these days?!?!" .... So I just KNEW I had to find a great CD to give him so he could be enlightened!! ...and this is it!!!IF you only own one CD by this band, then get THIS ONE!! 57 songs (..but only a handful over 2 1/2 minutes) that launched THOUSANDS of other bands and even made ME want to pick up an instrument, form a band and play... GREAT overall view of an American original , encompassing their 22 years together... Too many highlights on this collection to list (57 SONGS remember?)No one was like them before.. and no one can ever take their place!!

Almost perfect Ramones collection
Replace Surfin' Bird (stupid and repetitive since the original version back in the 60's), Endless Vacation (obnoxious) and Somebody Put Something in My Drink (filler) with We're a Happy Family, Outsider and the Ramones' cover of Baby I Love You (originally by The Roxettes) and you'll have the best of The Ramones you could ask for in a 58 song collection. Buy this along with Loud, Fast Ramones and you'll have all the best of The Ramones excluding BILY. Definitely a 5 star collection.
