You know, since everyone was wondering this exact topic? Well, I've finally done it. It's tough to come up with a top-10 for a band that's so redundant, yet so great at the same time, but damnit... I've done it!
Beat on the Brat
The gist of the song is this: "Beat on the brat... beat on the brat... beat on the brat with a baseball bat, oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh ho! With a brat like that always on your back, what can you lose?"
Chain Saw
A song about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, that really has nothing to do with that movie. One of the first songs I learned to play on guitar, because like every song of theirs, it's only 4 chords!
Come Back Baby
I like this song, because it sounds like another Ramones song that I like even better. That's what the Ramones were all about. Great songs that all sounded the same.
Crummy Stuff
Perhaps their dumbest yet, it sumultaneously becomes among their greatest. "I had enough... I had it tough... I've had enough of that crummy stuff. Crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy crummy stuff."
Do You Remember Rock N Roll Radio
Ramones give you their tribute to classic classic rock. Definitely cheesy, definitely great.
I Wont Let it Happen
Got a nice simple melody to it that just works.
My Brain is Hanging Upside Down
One of their more intricate songs, with something more to say than the usual Ramones song. Still not saying a lot, but it's still plenty.
Out of Time
A Ramones-ified cover of The Rolling Stones song circa 1966, which is also one of the greatest songs of all time. Ramones nailed it, and cut the song in half, to stick with their usual tendencies to keep the songs short.
Questioningly
Ramones trying to sing a sad song, and it kind of works!
This Business is Killing Me
The greatest Ramones song ever is coincidentally the last in this otherwise alphabetic list of Top 10 Ramones songs. This list is... is a fact... that's subject to change.
