Punk. Not Metal, You Revisionists!
Interplanetary Funksmanship | Vanilla Suburbs, USA | 06/17/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Without the Ramones, there'd be NO Clash, NO Sex Pistols, NO Dead Kennedys, NO Buzzcocks, NO Rezillos. It all started with the Ramones, when they went on their tour in London, which they kicked off on the day of America's Bicentennial, on July 4, 1976. A decade after the Beatles, Kinks, the Who and Spinal Tap, the Ramones invaded the U.K. with their garage rock brand of PUNK with Johnny Ramone slashing out three power chords with his chainsaw guitar attack and Joey singing in his velvety monotone. Within a year, all of the sudden, punk rock bands were emerging from the U.K. left and right, all of the sudden the ignorant press (read: Rolling Stones, et al.) were calling punk a "British import".



So, let's put this stupid history revisionism to rest: The Ramones were punk. Punk started with the Ramones, and without the Ramones, there'd be no punk.



If they were merely another metal band at the time of their incarnation (such as Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, or Kiss), their influence would have been for nil.



I was there. I remember it all, and, yes, the Ramones were a bona fide punk band.



This record has some of their best. Enjoy!"

"The Ramones-Loud, Fast; Their Toughest Hits *****





Countless compaletions have been made of The Ramones including a career anthology, a best of, greatest hits, and many others but none has been as good or worth the money as Loud, Fast; Their Toughest Hits. Hand picked by Johnny Ramone himself, the guitarist for the Ramones since day one this has to be a winner. This collection covers the bands entire career even through the 1990s. This has something from every Ramones studio album from the selftitled debut album The Ramones in 1976 all the way up through Adios Amigos in 1995. You hear then all Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, Tommy, Marky, Richie, and C.J. Ramone they are all heard at one point or another here. Johnny and Joey are the only original members of the band to stay the entire stay until the band retired.



The Ramones are whether some want to admit it one of the greatest bands of all time, and not just of the punk genra, but of rock n' roll and pop as well. The Ramones had all the ingrediants to sell and be massive, and why they were not the biggest band of all time is beyond me they are catchy and charasmatic and had the look of a boy band, well a really cool and greasy boy band but still... Take a slice of The Beachboys, a splash of The Beatles, and the throw aways of The Rolling Stone wordrobe and you have The Ramones. This is a shorter review because honestly the music speaks for itself, and so does this awesome collection."
