| 1. Wicked: 5th Anniversary Special Edition | 
|
From: Decca Broadway October 28, 2008
The Wicked musical CD is a lot of fun. The songs are catchy and they tell an interesting story of the Wicked Witch and how she became "Wicked." I would highly recommend buying this CD and seeing the show live!... more

| 2. Ramones | 
|
By: The Ramones June 19, 2001
I agree with another reviewer somewhere below! His/Her review is the best Ramones review I've ever been fortunate enough to read and I KNOW I'll Never top it, But It's so refreshing to hear of another true punk fan who sees the truth about this album in particular and the band in general, that I can't resist trying! Let me try to elucidate! I've listened to many of the Ramones... more

| 3. Greatest Hits | 
|
By: The Ramones June 06, 2006
i guess i just don't do punk. i know it's uncool to trash the ramones, but having 10,000+ songs ranging from jazz, rock, pop, dance, hiphop, folk, indie, and more, this moronic, puerile stuff leaves me cold. i disliked it in 1979 and it hasn't improved on sampling their 'greatest hits' today. i'm not prone to neg reviews but just had to burst the 5-star bubble. if this is your bag you'll know within... more

| 4. Rocket to Russia | 
|
By: The Ramones June 19, 2001
Rocket to Russia being Ramones 3rd studio album and their 1977 release and showcases punk at its finest. The booklet is very extensive with all the lyrics, many photographs of the band from the time, linernotes by author Legs Michael. Allmusic gave the album 5/5 and Robert Christgau gave them an A. 5/5... more

| 5. Road to Ruin | 
|
By: The Ramones June 19, 2001
I consider myself a very educated person when it comes to modern music. I have the essentials of everything from early boogie-woogie, early jazz & blues, 60's pop, disco, new wave, metal, indie rock, etc. But I am just now (at 24 years old) discovering The Ramones. Don't ask me why it took me so long...but it did and I am so happy. They are becoming one of my favorite groups to listen to. If you... more

| 6. Leave Home | 
|
By: The Ramones June 19, 2001
Having recently explored this band's early studio efforts, I have to say that I'm pleased this cd's sound quality is a giant leap ahead of their debut album (I bought a 2 in 1 of "Ramones" and "Rocket to Russia" which I assume has the bog standard sound quality of the titles separately). Whereas their debut's sound was generally good, it was badly let down by having the guitars low in the... more

| 7. End of the Century | 
|
By: Ramones August 20, 2002
Funny how we re-write musical reality over time. Nowadays it's common knowledge that "The Queen Is Dead" is the best Smith's album, but at the time a lot of us fans thought it was the weakest (and still do). We also believe that the Ramones blundered with this album and attempted to "redeem" themselves with their following two. (Which, perhaps, is true, but whether they needed to--or whether they... more

| 9. Hey! Ho! Let's Go: Ramones Anthology | 
|
By: The Ramones July 20, 1999
If you are only going to buy one Ramones album, than you are poor or have poor taste in music. However, if you are only going to buy one Ramone's album - I would recommend this collection. The CD is worth it's price for the liner notes alone which provide an excellent history of the band. And of course, the songs are great too... more

| 10. Subterranean Jungle | 
|
By: Ramones August 20, 2002
Having read thru the rest of the reviews, and having encountered several glaring inaccuracies, I find that the following corrections are in order:
"I Need Your Love" is awesome. "Time Bomb" is the coolest song on the album. "Psycho Therapy" is decent, but not on par with their best material. "Time" is a pointless and crappy cover and shouldn't have happened. more
