The Ramones to Honor 50th Anniversary of Debut Album With Year-Long Celebration Featuring Reissues, Museum Exhibit

An authorized exhibit will open at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas on July 4 and Rhino Records will announce a series of reissues and remastered, upscaled videos.

Do you wanna dance? Good, because 50 years ago Thursday (April 23) The Ramones released their self-titled debut album, the punk rock atom bomb that blew our minds with such classics as “Blitzkrieg Bop,” “Beat on the Brat,” “Judy Is a Punk,” “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,” “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue,” “53rd & 3rd” and “Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World,” among others.

The leather jacket and ripped jeans quartet originally comprised of singer Joey, guitarist Johnny, bassist Dee Dee and drummer Tommy Ramone wrote the template for the genre with their signature mix of bubblegum and girl group-spiked pop run through a blender on high speed in barely two-minute songs whose lyrics read like a suburban parent’s worst nightmare.
