Rocket to Russia (November 1977) - Ramones

« Ramones

It is really tough to decide which Ramones album is my favorite. Rocket to Russia flip-flops with Road to Ruin.

There is not a lame song on this record. It is full of classics. Beyond the obvious popular ones ("Sheena is a Punk Rocker," "Rockaway Beach"), this one has "Cretin Hop," "Teenage Lobotomy," and "I Don't Care."

The deluxe version on iTunes includes a few extras, including an early version of "Needles and Pins, " later released on Road to Ruin.
