They were the pioneers of punk rock, the resident house band at the legendary New York club CBGB, with long hair and leather jackets, counting off 1 2,3,4 then launching into 2 minute songs that were a wall of noise, rebelling against the excesses that plagued rock and roll in the mid 1970s. They were the Ramones, and, in the words of Trouser Press magazine,“With just four chords and one manic tempo”, they “blasted open the clogged arteries of mid-'70s rock, reanimating the music.” Interestingly, the punk rock sound of the Ramones had its roots in the pop music of the 1960s. The band cited the music of The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Kinks and Rolling Stones, as well as girl groups such as The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, as key influences. Perhaps then, it’s not surprising that the band agreed to let Phil Spector, who, of course, had worked with both The Beatles and The Ronettes, produce their 1980’s album, End Of The Century. The disc clearly had more of a pop than a punk sound, which sparked controversy with both the band and its fans. That said, it became the Ramone’s highest charting album reaching #44 on the Billboard charts in the US, and climbing to # 14 in the UK. Moreover, the band quickly incorporated tunes from the disc into their live shows, such as this gig from June 28, 1980, 38 years ago today. Download this FM broadcast to hear the Ramones play new tunes such as Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?, Chinese Rock, and Rock 'N' Roll High School, alongside a host of punk rock classics.
