Join Mike and I as we rank from worst to best the albums of legendary punk rockers the Ramones! Thanks for watching and be sure to check out therevue.net for more!
Definitely wrong with a lot of facts. I’d recommend Marky Ramone’s autobiography which tells mostly everything that happened during album recording and touring. According to him, Phil Spector had guns, but never pulled it on them. He got verbal and was a lunatic toward Johnny and Dee Dee, but no guns were drawn. Road To Ruin was also produced by Tommy and drums were handled by Marky. Also CJ had no hand in the songwriting, because they used most of Dee Dee’s remaining songs for most of the late 80s and early 90s. It kind of helps to do some research than talk out your ass when having these discussions.
Tried to enjoy this but too much negativity. Probably not fans. " Yeah I put this one at number four and I really hate the album cover, the songs are all really stupid, etc" wtf is that. " This one is number one, I hate this too" smh
Tommy co-produced Road to Ruin with Ed Stasium. Joey and Richie also had a role in producing Halfway To Sanity with Daniel Rey (although the whole band are credited).
Mondo Bizarro is great im really surprised its ranked so low here, even last on one list. They definitely have worse albums in my opinion. Its better than Brain Drain, Adios Amigos and Acid Eaters, especially the last two, but each to their own. I can make an argument that its better than Animal Boy and Halfway To Sanity as well. It definitely sounds more confident
Leave Home gets trashed as a continuation of the first album. ....Johnny mentioned in his book that first 3 albums were meant to be continuation off all the songs that they sang in order before the first album. It was a continuation of the first album on purpose
I'm probably twice your ages and saw the Ramones over 30 times and agree with most of your rankings, but I have Rocket to Russia first. Leave home second. Ramones first album third. Leave home and The first album are so different. The production on Leave home is 1000 times better.
It's great that at least one of you knew that Pet Semetary was for a movie. But what movie was that? Great question. Rock'n'Roll Highschool is a shitty movie? First time I hear that. Phil Spector's not in jail, because he's dead.
"what year were you born? 95?" "96..." Conclusion: Ramones are stupid and album art sucks. Ranking shit you don't like or understand, as though you grasp it is nonsensical, to put it nicely. Dude on right keeps misnaming tunes, left guy hates everything.. They don't get it. Road to ruin; Tommy's last, Marky produced? That's enough. Spector's in jail too..
Bad album covers? I think they are great! I Love: To Tough To Die and End of The Century, Subterranean Jungle album covers Then you like the worst of them all Adios Amigos? If you hate a band this much why do a ranking with them?? So stupid.
I totally disagree about thes album art. road to ruin is a great cover. rocket to Russia and the first album is like the greatest album art of all time what are you talking about. and who cares about album art. I don't appreciate how critical the guy on the left is about all these little things , critiquing road to ruin!! ahhhhh as if he can begin to understand what makes this band great. boooo go listen to hail to the thief.
Guys - why bother?! It's so pointless when you obviously hate their 80s & 90s work. The first half of this dual diatribe about their apparent awfulness in this period is an utter turn-off. You are both dismissive and unconstructive. What a waste of your (and my!) time.

here a 48 years old Ramones fan for many many years and for me Mondo Bizarro its a GREAT GREAT album!! Anyway, I enjoy this video a lot guys :)
That seems to be the consensus among longtime fans- maybe we missed something! Thanks for watching!
As a huge Ramones fan, I respectfully deeply disagree with this list and what has been said about Mondo Bizarro, Adios Amigos and Brain Drain
"Go little Camaro, go" sing Blondie as back vocal. Also, backing vocal was Pete (guitarist of The Who) in song Substitute.
These guys are not qualified to do this type of ranking! Obviously they are Not Ramones Fans. I can't even watch the whole thing.
Totally agree.
I loved the 'Basement' song. Dark and mysterious like an episode of 'Twilight Zone'.
As a longtime Ramones fan I guess I am “slightly” biased.. I love all the albums in different ways.. But I guess it’s a age thing..
My two least favorite are Acid Eaters and End Of The Century. Favorites? Rocket To Russia, Road To Ruin, Halfway To Sanity and Subterranean Jungle.
Oh Geez….. Road to Ruin was Marky’s first album. Tommy was the only Ramone to produce any of their albums. Although, I don’t believe he produced RtR
Tommy co-produced Road to Ruin with Ed Stasium. Joey and Richie also had a role in producing Halfway To Sanity with Daniel Rey (although the whole band are credited).

Mondo Bizzaro - C.J Ramone wrote majority of the songs...lol
C.J. did not write any songs from Mondo Bizarro.
The Ramones were a band who sadly sold more T-Shirts than records.

Deedee wrote some good songs for Mondo. Strength to endure and Poison Heart were the best
Having Mondo Bizarro that low on your lists is just wrong. Poison Heart is one of their top 3 songs :)
I don’t wanna go down to the basement is a great song! It was Sid’s favorite
Where did you read this? Just curious.
It's great that at least one of you knew that Pet Semetary was for a movie. But what movie was that? Great question. Rock'n'Roll Highschool is a shitty movie? First time I hear that. Phil Spector's not in jail, because he's dead.
Not sure I wanna finish listening after such a boneheaded comment that CJ wrote most of Mondo Bizarro 😁
Best song from Mondo Bizarro is Tomorrow She Goes Away!
how can Mike say _I'm Not Afraid Of Life_ is like Pleasant Dreams? Totally different vibe and era. I'd have never made that connection
"what year were you born? 95?" "96..." Conclusion: Ramones are stupid and album art sucks.

Road to ruin; Tommy's last, Marky produced? That's enough. Spector's in jail too..
You guys don't know anything.cj rocks.
Cjs awesome these guys are wrong
Mike's #6 choice he cites _Hair Of The Dog_ as a standout track. I think it's ok but definitely not a classic track
I have a hard time ranking Ben and Mike - they are both terrible
Bad album covers? I think they are great! I Love: To Tough To Die and End of The Century, Subterranean Jungle album covers Then you like the worst of them all Adios Amigos? If you hate a band this much why do a ranking with them?? So stupid.
Brain Drain and Adios Amigos way too low imo
Acid eater's is also a great album
Adios Amigos and Mondo Bizzaro are their best

Subterranean Jungle isn't a great album. Mondo Bizarro is definitely better
