Blitzkrieg Bop by Ramones

“Do you own any actual Ramones albums from the 80's? in 1980 Tommy Ramone, sick of Joey and Johnny's drama, completely quit the band. Tommy was the band's producer for their first 4 albums and the drummer for the first 3. Like Meg White he slams out an under-appreciated raw sound. You can tell the song's he plays on by their primal drive. The latter Ramones got slicker. He kept it raw.”

'Though the Ramones were celebrated as the quintessential New York punk band, ostensibly a band of brothers playing short but explosive sets of brutally minimal songs, there was method behind their facade of mindlessness. Their drummer and producer Tommy Ramone, who has died of cancer aged 65, explained it like this: "First of all, it wasn't four morons; second of all, none of it was an accident; and third of all, it's four talented people who know what they like and who know what they're doing." ommy played on and co-produced the band's first three studio albums, Ramones (1976, though the production credit here went to Craig Leon), Leave Home (1977) and Rocket to Russia (1977), and was sole producer on the 1979 live album It's Alive.' http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jul/13/tommy-ramone
