The Ramones' self-titled debut is a justifiably adored album - not just one of the best albums to come out of the initial New York punk explosion of the mid-'70s, but one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time.

Ramones is one of those rare records where there is not a single weak or out-of-place song. Change ups like the bubble-gummy near-ballad "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" and the uncharacteristically harsh "53rd and 3rd" vary the album's sound and mood more than its detractors maintain.
