1589 - Ramones We Want the Airwaves 1981

As if the commercial leanings of End of the Century weren't uncharacteristic and jarring enough, the Ramones were forced to push their hands even further by making their next album a more desperate grab for success. Pleasant Dreams represents the true moment when  this band had come to build its entire reputation upon. "We Want the Airwaves." really saw the band doing something special, with a slower but forceful tempo and Johnny playing that eerie melody that put a nice spin on the basic A-F-G chord sequence they had run into the ground. Even though Johnny most certainly did not want the airwaves and did not care what the airwaves thought of his musical choices, he played it like he meant it, with a mean but melodically assured Joey belting out the band's manifesto that almost feels more like a plea.

1409 – Ramones Commando 1977

"Leave Home" is a fairly appropriate title for the Ramones' second full-length. Their first album, "Ramones", established the signature punk sound, but "Leave Home" improved on it. The production is slightly better, a smooth edge added to each of the songs. Though the band wrote the material for the first two albums before either were recorded, the songs here are more melodic, with the pop sensibilities bubbling from almost every song. Dee Dee’s lyrics to “Commando” are hilarious (“Third rule is: Don’t talk to commies / Fourth rule is: eat kosher salamis”), making fun of the military.

1067 - The Ramones I wanna be Sedated 1978

"I Wanna Be Sedated" was released in 1978 and appeared on their fourth album, "Road to Ruin", the first album to feature new drummer Marky Ramone, replacing founding member Tommy Ramone.
It was written by Joey Ramone. In an interview about the song, Joey explains the chorus:
"It's a road song. I wrote it in 1977, through the 78. Well, Danny Fields was our first manager and he would work us to death. We would be on the road 360 days a year, and we went over to England, and we were there at Christmastime, and in Christmas time, London shuts down. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go. Here we were in London for the first time in our lives, and me and Dee Dee Ramone were sharing a room in the hotel, and we were watching The Guns of Navarone. So there was nothing to do, I mean, here we are in London finally, and this is what we are doing, watching American movies in the hotel room."

738 - Ramones The KKK took my baby away 1981

Formed in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, in 1974, all members of the band used stage names with their surnames as "Ramone", though none of them are actually related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually non-stop for 22 years.
"The KKK Took My Baby Away" is a song written by Joey Ramone. It appears on the Ramones' 1981 album "Pleasant Dreams".
Many Ramones fans claim that the song was penned by Joey after Ramones' guitarist Johnny Ramone "stole" Joey's ex-girlfriend Linda from him, although he claims that he wrote the song years before the incident. The KKK reference refers to Johnny's conservative political stance, which influenced Johnny's management of the band in a militant, slightly authoritarian way.

614 - Ramones She’s The One 1978

"Road To Ruin" shows a more "classic" pop sound as well as a shift to a more serious personality to the music, a theme that would remain in later albums, most notably 1980's "End of the Century". The influence of 1960s girl groups is in evidence, as well as the influence of The Byrds. This is their first album with Marky Ramone on drums, after original drummer Tommy Ramone left due to fatigue from touring. However, Tommy (credited as his birth name, Tommy Erdelyi) stayed to produce Road to Ruin, as well as a brief comeback for 1984's "Too Tough to Die".
The catchy “She’s The One” is a great tune.

482 - Ramones Blitzkrieg Bop 1976

"Blitzkrieg Bop" is a song by the punk rock group the Ramones. It appeared as their very first single released in November 1975 in the U.S. and July 1976 in the U.K.. A different version (which eventually became the most popular one) appeared on their first album.
The song was mainly written by Ramones drummer Tommy Ramone, and is based on a simple three-chord pattern. "Blitzkrieg Bop" opens with the chant "Hey! Ho! Lets go!". The song is popular at sporting events, especially baseball games, where "Hey! Ho! Let's go!" is sometimes shouted as a rallying cry, usually for the home team.

436 - The Ramones Pet Sematary 1989

"Brain Drain" marked the return of Marky Ramone to the Ramones. It also was Dee Dee Ramone's last album with the group. And their last studio album for Sire Records.
The marvelous "Pet Semetary" (which long-time fan Stephen King requested for the film version of his book) remains a classic.

236 - Ramones Rock 'n' Roll High School 1980

The Ramones never achieved much commercial success during their years of recording and performing. Their only album to reach certified gold status in the U.S. was their compilation album "Ramones Mania". Appreciation of the band has grown since the 1980s, and they now regularly appear on "all-time greatest" lists. "Rock 'n' Roll High School" is also a 1979 film produced by Roger Corman, directed by Allan Arkush, and featuring The Ramones. The title song was written by Joey Ramone and was released in the album "End of the Century", produced by the famed Phil Spector. Bassist Dee Dee Ramone wrote of Spector's obsessive recording techniques: "Phil would sit in the control room and would listen through the headphones to Marky hit one note on the drum, hour after hour, after hour, after hour." At another time, Spector forced guitarist Johnny Ramone to play the opening chord to "Rock 'n' Roll High School" hundreds of times.

143 - Ramones Beat on the Brat 1976

A classic punk debut from a legendary band, Ramones is a top quality album that isn't even one of the band's best. With 15 tracks weighing in at just under 30 minutes, the songs are short, sharp, humorous, catchy and one hell of a lot of fun.
"Beat on the Brat", is gorgeous, in its own hilarious and simplistic sort of way. I just love this song. Notice in the middle when the 4 chord goes down to two, with the drum and you think the songs over, but no, you get about a minute more of just heaven before you get to listen to "Judy is a Punk".

99 - Ramones Sheena Is A Punk Rocker 1977

Formed in Forest Hills, Queens, New York in 1974, Ramones was the first band in the world to play a white urban form of rock'n'roll, removing the solos and blues patterns associated with earlier forms of rock music. The Ramones' musical style was influenced by various parts of rock and pop music of the 1950s and 1960s; bands such as The Beach Boys, The Who, The Kinks...
I know Ramones are not a heavy metal band, but their influence on a lot of bands and their energy relate them to this genre. Some hard rock and heavy metal bands have been influenced by the Ramones such as Guns N' Roses, Megadeth, Metallica, Kiss, and Motörhead. Therefore this won´t be the only song on this compilation.
