Description for Ramones'
Paperback. The dumbest band with the dumbest tunes - but still they transcend all other groups as the ground zero of rock, reduced to its crudest essence. This, their first album is a brutal combination of 60s pop and garage punk with adolescent tales of girls and sniffing glue. Series: 33 1/3. Num Pages: 128 pages. BIC Classification: AVG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 165 x 121 x 8. Weight in Grams: 128.
What could be more punk rock than a band that never changed, a band that for decades punched out three-minute powerhouses in the style that made them famous? The Ramones' repetition and attitude inspired a genre, and Ramones set its tone. Nicholas Rombes examines punk history, with the recording of Ramones at its core, in this inspiring and thoroughly researched justification of his obsession with the album.

Reviews for Ramones'
"'A brilliant idea' The Times; 'Neat' Nick Hornby; 'Pocket-size books about favourite albums is a nice idea, akin to TV's Classic Albums and with an equal amount of care and attention.' The Guardian (Friday Review)"
