Reply to comment by TheDudeOfYou in Bands that peaked with their first album? by GroguIsMyBrogu

Those first four Ramones albums are really all perfect, but the debut is the template.

Agree 💯. The first was the template. I personally feel the best songs are on the 3rd, and the production on the 4th is the best. I probably grab the 4th (“Road to Ruin”) the most.

Well put. The first 4 are perfect but the debut album changed a lot of lives, or at least the way we thought about music

Yes. That first album was not just the template for the Ramones. I think its easily one of the 10 most important albums of all time.
