GBS 07 -"The Shuffle"#2-(Ramones 76-78)

One of the joys of limiting my self to mainly stuff I bought between 1976 to 1978 at the moment has been the rediscovery of the sheer beauty of  Ramones 1st three albums


.That mind-shredding first album-a musical full-stop in the rock n roll tapastry.All of America's rock and roll,surf and pop,mixed in with THAT guitar sound....

so heres Shuffle # 2. (by the way-1,2,3,4 added together makes 10-so there are ten tracks)



Now thats not bad-

1. Blitzkrieg Bop
2 .Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment
3.Locket Love
4.Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue
5.Pinhead
6.California Sun
7.I Can't Give You Anything
8.Commando
9.Surfin Bird
10.I Don't Care

1-2-3-4 = 10 songs that are all classic-what a selection-and to end with what is possibily the greatest set of rock n roll lyrics of all time is just perfect. If your only knowledge of Ramones extends to the image printed on the bag you got at Primark then feast your ears-KNOW what that image means....everyone else just turn it up.....
