37 Years Ago Today

The first Ramones album was released. It's only my fourth favorite Ramones album but it's still an A+. And Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World is still wildly underrated.

Original Rolling Stone review:

The Ramones are authentic American primitives whose work has to be heard to be understood. Heard, not read about or synopsized. .. The Ramones' perversity and peculiarly Old Testament view of retribution carry the day.... It is time popular music followed the other arts in honoring its primitives. The Ramones belong to rock & roll, and not to rock and avant-garde musical trends.
