Seminal punk rockers who lit up the mid-'70s New York City scene by stripping 

rock & roll to the basics. The Ramones were the first punk rock band. 

Other bands, such as the Stooges and the New York Dolls, came before them 

and set the stage and aesthetic for punk, and bands that immediately followed, 

such as the Sex Pistols, made the latent violence of the music more explicit, 

but the Ramones crystallized the musical ideals of the genre. By cutting 

rock & roll down to its bare essentials -- four chords; a simple, catchy melody; 

and irresistibly inane lyrics -- and speeding up the tempo considerably, 

the Ramones created something that was rooted in early '60s, 

pre-Beatles rock & roll and pop but sounded revolutionary

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

With the three-chord assault of "Blitzkrieg Bop," The Ramones begins at a blinding speed 

and never once over the course of its 14 songs does it let up. The Ramones is all about speed, 

hooks, stupidity, and simplicity. The songs are imaginative reductions of early rock & roll, 

girl group pop, and surf rock. Not only is the music boiled down to its essentials, but 

the Ramones offer a twisted, comical take on pop culture with their lyrics, whether it's the 

horror schlock of "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement," the gleeful violence of "Beat on the Brat," 

or the maniacal stupidity of "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue." And the cover of Chris Montez's 

"Let's Dance" isn't a throwaway -- with its single-minded beat and lyrics, it encapsulates 

everything the group loves about pre-Beatles rock & roll. They don't alter the structure, 

or the intent, of the song, they simply make it louder and faster. And that's the key to all of 

the Ramones' music, it's simple rock & roll, played simply, loud, and very, very fast...(AllMusic)
