And this seems to be symbolic of the Ramones’ entire career. Today they are arguably more popular than they’ve ever been. It just took a little while for folks to catch on. They are also respected more today than they’ve ever been. They are #26 on Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of all time list.
The music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine once wrote, “The band’s first four albums set the blueprint for punk, especially American punk and hardcore, for the next two decades.” Indeed, the Ramones today remain one of the most influential rock bands of all time. There have been dozens of tribute albums. Today, thousands of prominent musicians continue to cite the band as a huge influence on their own music. There’s even a popular children’s show called Yo Gabba Gabba! that pays respect to the band’s catchphrase, gabba gabba hey!
As it turns out, there’s a lot of us freaks out there. Gabba gabba hey indeed.
I recently visited the place of the Ramones first official gig, CBGB's, and Joey Ramone's old place. So what’s your favorite Ramones song or album? My favorite song is “I Don’t Wanna Walk Around with You” and my favorite album by them is Road to Ruin. And as always, I love to read suggestions from you for future bands I should cover for this series. Thanks for watching!
