Redirected from The Ramones (1st LP) The Ramones is The Ramones' first album, released in May of 1976 (see 1976 in music). The Ramones began recording it in autumn 1975 for Sire Records[?].

The Ramones never achieved massive mainstream popularity, but are widely regarded as the American godfathers of punk rock. This album established their reputation as three-chord garage rockers with a sense of humor. As a result, they became one of the most popular hardcore punk bands in history, though The Ramones peaked at #111 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums chart..
