Ranking Records: The Ramones

Wow! This was a tough but fun one for me to get through. The Ramones were a band that I initially had zero interest in, but eventually learned to love. This oversight sure cost me the chance to see a lot of live shows back in the day, although I did see this one at CBGBs that I wrote about here. It was a fascinating journey to rediscover all 14 Ramone’s LPs and along the way I read fascinating books by Joey’s brother Mickey Leigh, Dee Dee, Johnny, Marky, Richie and super-roadie Monte Melnick. After reading all these, I now feel part of the happy family! See the LP chart I did at www.musiccitymike.net. Enjoy the video and sorry about copping out on a full ranking – I just couldn’t do it. It’s sad to think that all the original members are gone. Thanks for watching and please show your support by hitting the “Like” and “Subscribe” buttons on the YouTube page.
