If you are not a Ramones fan, just skip this thread.  If you are, post your favorites.

A couple of my favorites:

I Wanna Be Sedated and Teenage Lobotomy.


But, in this video, the audience looks to be sedated:

Professor Hathaway: Up the voltage.

LOVE me some Ramones!! Pretty much everything on the first four records plus 1984's "Too Tough To Die" are all gold in my book, but if I had to pick absolute faves, I'd say...

"Teenage Lobotomy"
"Do You Remember Rock N Roll Radio?"
"Planet Earth 1988"
"Carbona Not Glue"
"Pinhead"
"Smash You"
"If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

The Ramones are perfect punk for me: Their songs are loud, fast, have a good beat, and are short!

Faves:
Blitzkrieg Bop (great for Rock Band)
Beat On The Brat
Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
Rockaway Beach

I really like Poison Heart - an overlooked gem.

same here. remember hearing this on the radio a few times when it came out and thinking it doesn't sound much like The Ramones. (although I only know about 10 songs by the ramones however)

Yeah, me too.

I'm also fond of their cover of "Do You Wanna Dance"

Funny that this topic came up cuz I just borrowed two books about the Ramones from the library -- "Ramones: An American Band" and "Poisoned Heart," which was written by DeeDee's ex-wife about her experiences with the band. Looking forward to reading them both.

There are so many great Ramones songs I can't even begin to make a list of favorites.

I will say that Rocket To Russia is probably my favorite Ramones album.  I pretty much grew up listening to The Ramones, and that was the first album by them that I owned.
