Ramones Radio Brain Drain Show # 788

As part of CJAM FM’s Radio Brain Drain programming this year, which is a week’s worth of celebrating punk rock in all its forms. Revolution Rock did a program made up entirely of music from the Ramones. With 14 studio albums in their discography, not counting live albums and compilations, the Ramones branched out in a variety of styles from 1974-1996, but commercial success evaded them. The band was and is still highly influential and even what some people view as not their best albums still feature some great songs. This program featured a mix of music from the band’s discography, selections from the recent 40th anniversary box sets of their first four albums including demos, rare recordings and live recordings. Download/stream the show after the playlist below.
