This album had a huge influence on a whole generation of kids....I remember hearing it and thinking to myself...it's not like those bands with the big power ballad or a 5 minute guitar solo that made music seem as though you needed to know a secret handshake to even play !! The Ramones were the band that we listened to and said "Hey, I can do that!"...and just think of all the bands worldwide spawned from The Ramones, it's immeasurable ! Whether you like the Ramones or not you cannot deny their influence on the music industry...
Im 48 years old...sometimes it sucks being old...but once...I got backstage at hollywood palidum and got to party with dee dee ramone. So sometimess, its worth it.
