Amazon.co.uk Review
Like most true originals, the Ramones embodied a dizzying array of contradictions. As punk godfathers, they became the archetype for a rebellious musical ethos that could often confuse the baby for the bath water, yet at heart they were 1960s pop-and-bubblegum-worshipping reactionaries. The seeming unity symbolised by their street-hood uniform (ripped jeans, deck shoes and black leather jackets) and name (nicked from an early nom de plume of Beatle Paul) masked an underlying turmoil. And the dumber-than-dumb stance of the likes of "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue", "Cretin Hop" and "Teenage Lobotomy" actually masked some of the shrewdest rock ever recorded. If the two discs of the anthology Hey Ho Let's Go! seem like hardly enough room to document a band with a quarter-century legacy, it's good to remember that the Ramones prided themselves on stripping every song they attempted to its elemental core, then halving it again with their patented buzz saw, double-stop tempo. The nearly five dozen tracks here, reaching from the early 1970s to the late 1990s, stand remarkably outside of time--just like true originals. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Ramones Anthology
Hey Ho Let's Go-Anthology is the best Ramones album currently available-although the first three albums were perfect and there was (arguably) four decent albums after (Road To Ruin,End Of The Century,Too Tough To Die and Acid Eaters).
Anthology contains 57 tracks-not just the more obvious likes of Blitzkrieg Bop,Beat On The Brat etc;but there is also some of the most underrated songs in the Ramones canon-Pet Sematary,or The KKK Took My Baby Away,to name but two.This album is as essential as Buzzcocks'Singles Going Steady compilation,or the Sex Pistols'Kiss This best of.

You can't call yourself a punk until you've heard Ramones!!!
I used to be a fan of modern, trendy pop-'punk', blink 182 et al (although dude ranch is a good album).

Then i heard Ramones.

As well as being the first true punk band, they are arguably the best, and this unbelievably value-for-money album shows this in the best possible way.

This one double-cd anthology, although only including songs from one band, catalogues the entire history of punk rock (the songs on this album range from early 70s to late 90s).

Without the ramones, there would be no green day, offspring, blink 182, new found glory, sum 41, nofx, rancid (i'm only allowed 1000 words but i could go on forever!!!

I don't want to use cliches but this is 'punk' with true 'rock n'roll' spirit and it certainly hasn't 'sold out'.

Just look through the booklet on the inside to see the Ramones phenomenal discography and some great punk rock nostalgic photos featuring the ramones with the sex pistols, the clash, iggy pop etc.

If you like any punk band at all, you will certainly like this cd as this is the big daddy of 'em all.

Buy this.

Rock on
Move over Blink 182 and other so-called "punk" bands of nowadays, the real boys could kick your asses! The Ramones anthology epitmosises the real punk era. Fast guitars, often stupid - yet always contemporary - lyrics and no nonsense drumming makes this double cd more than worth listen. Even those with any of the Ramones' previous work has to take time to rock along to this baby. Excellent stuff!
