The Ramones - Discography Access

The Ramones - Discography Formed in Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974, the Ramones fundamentally altered the landscape of rock music. By stripping rock and roll down to its bare essentials—lightning-fast tempos, three chords, and zero guitar solos—Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Tommy Ramone created punk rock.

The Ramones' first four albums, all released on Sire Records, form the holy grail of punk rock. Recorded on a shoestring budget of just $6,400, their 1976 self-titled debut, Ramones , was a shock to the system. In 29 minutes of pure, unadulterated fury, songs like "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Beat on the Brat," and "Judy Is a Punk" stripped rock and roll down to its bare bones and then sped it up to a terrifying pace.

The Ramones' fifth studio album, End of the Century, was released on February 4, 1979.
