There was a special on tv back in the early nineties when i was a kid, i had a best friend from america and him and his family were rich, they brought over the first nintendo and were a very patriotic bunch ..

we'd stay up and listen to the ramones, guns n roses, nirvana, janes addiction, b52's back when they were popular ...

the ramones have that cartoon band thing going on like KISS and the misfits ..

but it was very raw and exciting punk, and it brings back memories of the early nineties and my friend who eventually returned to the states in 1995 ...

so whenever i hear those bands it really turns up the nostalgia of those really fun years, i freaking loved the 90's musically and i realy miss those days even though the ramones are technically 70's/80's. ..

favourite songs : rock n roll radio, wanna be sedated, kkk took my baby away, touring ...

now i'm more into power pop/punk: xtc, the replacements, early rem, joy division/new order ...

The Ramones are awesome. I just watched a documentary about them the other day called End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones, you should check it out.

I do. I can really relate to a lot of their songs.

Here's what's currently on my Ipod:

Too tough to die
Garden of Serenity
We're a happy family
Psychotherapy
I wanna live
I'm not afraid of life
I wanted everything
I just want to have something to do
It's not my place in the 9-5 world
I wanna be sedated
The job that ate my brain
I don't want to grow up
Gimmie gimmie shock treatment
California sun
Blitzkreig bop
Go mental
I don't want to live this life anymore

One of the interesting things about the Ramones is that their songs are so short that if you don't like one you don't have to worry because it'll be over soon.
