It's unbelievable to me that now all the original Ramones are gone. Thanks for all the great music guys, you gave me great joy through the years with those first three albums.

All geared up to see them headline Reading Festival in 1979 and they cancelled (replaced by Nils Lofgren of all people). Never saw them live and the records faded pretty quickly from my attention but for a while they soundtracked some teenage angst

I remember the first UK single, somthing about Sheena being a drunk docker if my memory serves me well, saw them at the Roundhouse supporting the Groovies,blink and they were gone, cartoon music, never felt the need to dig any deeper

When the first album came out, Sire ran a full-page ad in Rolling Stone quoting from reviews the album got. Most were positive, but one from a French paper was "Merde...je detest ce disque." The first album was classic; later ones were echoes of the first. I saw them at Brooklyn College around 1979, and was convinced that the "one-two-three-four" countdown before each song was independent of the beat the song actually started at. RIP.
