Using the old random number generator, I received number 47, which just so happened to be another self-titled album, "Ramones" by The Ramones, which was released in 1976. I have definitely heard this album before, but not in a very long time. Glad to give it another go from start to finish.
First Track: Blitzkrieg Bop
Start: Strong, and I mean strong, way to introduce yourself to the world!
Start: Strong, and I mean strong, way to introduce yourself to the world!
Best Attribute: Very hard-charging, guitar-led rock. Some of the best punk rock has to offer.
Worst Attribute: Very one-note. Not a lot of variation among the tracks.
Best Song: Blitzkrieg Bop - A definite "Pump-Up" song. Guitar, bass beat with drums just works! I also enjoyed Let's Dance.
Worst Song: Now I Wanna Go Sniff Some Glue - I just don't get it, I suppose. Not the glue-sniffing, the song.
Most Interesting Song: Havana Affair - Just enough different from the rest (although not really that different)
Most Interesting Quality: Definitely driving beats.
Would I listen again: Maybe not the album, but definitely many of the songs.
Who would I like to Re-Make/Re-Imagine this Album: Fall-Out Boy
Rolling Stone Ranking: 47
My Current Ranking: 1
Projected Final Ranking: 210
