Ramones "Leave Home" [1977]

How can you still rock out after you've sniffed all the glue in your parents' garage? Pull up a beanbag chair, lowlife dumbfucks, and let Ramones' "Leave Home" show you the hilarity of bloody killing sprees and the mocking of circus freaks. They'll also come onto you in their sleazy New Yawk, singsongy, simpleton three-chord way, at which time you'll be begging for more songs about blood and guts. The rapid downfall of American youth culture in 1977 was never more purely articulated than by this godawful piece of shit. In essence it's the sound of Buddy Holly (who would have opted for the plane crash had he been aware of these guys) on speed and forced through a meat-grinder, with these remedial rockers lowering the bar for teenage intelligence to unfathomable levels. Funny they named this album "Leave Home," as it's likely your folks would have kicked you out for listening to it in the first place.
