The Ramones Chronology

 The Ramones
(1976)		 Leave Home
(1977)


The Ramones is the band of the same title's first album, released in May of 1976 (see 1976 in music).


The Ramones never achieved massive mainstream popularity, but are widely regarded as the American godfathers of punk rock. This album established their reputation as three-chord garage rockers with a sense of humor. As a result, they became one of the most popular punk bands in history, though Ramones peaked at #111 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums chart.


The album ranked at #2 for Top 100 Albums of 1976 and #41 for overall by Rate Your Music.


In 2003 the TV network VH1 named Ramones the 54th greatest album of all time.

trakMARX - Ramones (810 words)
Two lp's in one year was a tall order for any group, but by the time The Ramones dropped "Rocket To Russia" they'd progressed to bubblegum punk prefection with the classic 45, "Rockaway Beach".
Although The Ramones were to continue recording and touring on and off for the next 18 years (finally giving up the ghost in 1995), line up changes and constant bickering gaurenteed that they never again created the amazing tension present on those first four lp's.
Ramones fans all over the world were united in grief on 15 April 2001 when Joey Ramone died of lymphatic cancer, aged 49.
