As they sing on Needles and Pins: 'I get down on my knees and pray.') But it’s true that here they get the balance absolutely right. (The Ramones uniform of tight jeans ripped at the knees was a risqué joke – ‘punk’ was originally slang for a homosexual or rent boy, and the ‘brothers’ were suggesting that they weren’t beyond prostrating themselves to perform ‘favours’. They were in some senses a very conservative band, especially compared to other, more notorious New Yorkers like Suicide or The Velvet Underground.ġ977’s Rocket to Russia, their third album, is perhaps their most critically acclaimed, mixing an obvious yearning for rock‘n’roll’s past with a minimalist punk attack which made them sound fresh, even if they were an old idea repackaged with new clothes. By their fifth album, 1980’s End of the Century, this nostalgia had become clearly signposted by the use of Phil Spector as producer, as well as songs such as Do You Remember Rock‘n’Roll Radio? and a cover of The Ronettes’ Baby, I Love You. After all, 'Ramon' was the name that Paul McCartney used to sign into hotels under, and their 1976 debut was produced to sound like A Hard Day’s Night. He paints the Ramones (quite rightly) as a group mired in the past rather than heralds of a futuristic punk rock revolution.
