About The Ramones - Hey! Ho! Let's Go: The Anthology

Like most true originals, the Ramones embodied a dizzying array of contradictions. As punk godfathers, they became the archetype for a rebellious musical ethos that could often confuse the baby for the bath water, yet at heart they were 1960s pop- and bubblegum-worshipping reactionaries. The seeming unity symbolized by their street-hood uniform (ripped jeans, deck shoes, and black leather jackets) and name (nicked from an early nom de plume of Beatle Paul) belied turmoil both personal and personnel. And the dumber-than-dumb stance of the likes of "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue," "Cretin Hop," and "Teenage Lobotomy" actually masked some of the shrewdest rock ever recorded. If Rhino/Warner Archive's two-disc anthology seems like hardly enough room to document a band with a quarter-century legacy, it's good to remember that the Ramones prided themselves on stripping every song they attempted to its elemental core, then halving it again with their patented buzzsaw, double-stop tempo. Journalist David Fricke's enclosed history is telling, if ironically packaged in a glossy hard-back edition that seems more befitting the likes of Fleetwood Mac. The nearly five dozen tracks here, reaching from the early '70s to the late '90s, stand remarkably outside of time--just like true originals. --Jerry McCulley Amazon.com

If you are only going to buy one Ramones album, than you are poor or have poor taste in music. However, if you are only going to buy one Ramone's album - I would recommend this collection. The CD is worth it's price for the liner notes alone which provide an excellent history of the band. And of course, the songs are great too. May 29, 2008

If you are a fan of the Ramones like I am. I would not let this jem get away. Every song on this classic album rocks. The Ramones have never done a bad song. Even their later work is great. Even if you have never even heard any of the Ramones songs, I would pick this album up I am sure you will love it.
RIP Joey you are a GOD!!! April 13, 2008

Well, I've been a Ramones fan since '77. They did more with three chords than most bands could ever dream.

To you newbies, just listen to how tight this band is. The reverb, the harsh guitar chords, the voice, and the drumming are flawless.

There's alot to be learned here on how to kick-it with only three chords.

The Ramones are in a league of their own. As far as an anthology is concerned...just buy all their albums on cd, 'cause you can never really get enough. April 8, 2008

i can't be sure about this, but i think that i would probably have turned out to be a much smarter person than i am if i hadn't listened to the ramones soooooo much. i really couldn't help it though; i loved their sound. i know for sure that that "gabba gabba hey" stuff wasn't good for me, but what was i to do? i really don't have any regrets. so i clean toliets for a living? somebody's got to. intelligence is overrated, i feel. i've had gobs of fun in my life; and the ramones were there all along the way, providing it over and over with those three buzzsaw guitar chords and joey's one-of-a-kind rock and roll voice. no. i have no regrets. i'd better get to bed now, though. got to be up at 6 in the morning. people are gonna be pooping, and i'll be there with my brush to take care of it all. thanks for hearing me out.
