"Blitzkrieg Bop" It's where it all began so I'll go with that one but hey FUCKING AMAZING band so many brilliant songs.
Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum...
Nearly impossible question to answer Longy, but I'm going with Rockaway Beach, slightly edging out Time Bomb, for my choice.
Cheers!
Might as well count the number of angels on the head of a pin.
Here's 5:
Blitzkrieg Bop
Cretin Hop
Rock N Roll Radio
She's The One
Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
Shit! indeed a though one there longy.
I Wanna Be Sedated, The KKK Took My Baby Away sprung to mind straight away, but I dunno....Bonzo Goes To Bitburgh, shit another one pops into my head. I give up what's the answer longy?
I thought i was gonna be able to answer this question. I started looking through my collection, and i can't. I guess if I really had to Rockaway Beach, but just by alittle bit.
and btw, it's not the greatest but Don't Come Close off Road To Ruin is a really good one that doesn't get alotta talk.
Like Nazz said, an impossible question to answer...but it's not "Baby I Love You"...hope i'm not offending anyone !
seen the ramones one tuesday nite in newcastle, on train back to darlo joey and his wife sat with us for 40 mins thanking us profusely for coming to see them. they were on their way to record baby i love you for top of the pops, so gonna pick that one.gonk
OK I'll go for "Outsider"... somehow it took me some time to really get into Ramones... it's with "Subterrean Jungle" that I really got hooked... so... but then again....

Thanks for your comments and as I half expected no-one has the same answer. Point is it could be one of dozens.
I will go for Highest Trails above just to be awkward lol
I'll plump for Glad To See You Go from the Leave Home LP or Wart-Hog for it sheer energy and snarling!
I had the pleasure of seeing The Ramones several times, once with Motorhead (awesome gig)- they never failed to disappoint - in awe of the late, great Johnny Ramone!
She's The One....Man, they wrote so many fantastic songs it is hard to chose

Hi mate, I guess I can't say anything new about them. They are the best punk band that I ever lived. So it's a tricky question to me. Cheers on you!!
Today it's easy, Rockaway Beach. Back in the Punk old ways it would have been impossible........ :-D
Best wishes from Sweden
way too many fucking great songs to pick one.
Havana Affair from It's Alive - a minute and a half of perfection from one of the greatest albums ever
I think "Loudmouth" and "Warthog" encompass the Ramones persona well. I always played the hell out of the Bonzo Goes To Bitburg 7" also the demo of "53rd and 3rd" rocks well.

Cheers again for the opinions. Interesting to note more than one mention for Bonzo,Wart Hog and Rockaway Beach.
Then I vote for Rockaway Beach again...... :-D
Best wishes from Sweden
swallow my pride,love it
Yeah, the most difficult question ever!
But I'll go for "Ramona". So much memories, the whole Rocket to Russia album by the way.
I went to New York once, and the first thing I did was walking up to 53 and 3rd, so, maybe that one as well!

cant give a reason but its always been rock n roll radio for me, great site by the way, love the comments
psycho therapy does it for me mate
Some good choices coming out here. Again thanks for all your comments.
Glad to see you go off It's Alive is awesome. Psychotherapy is a good shout too! Just so many....
a bit late to the party but Blitzkreig boop for me, but as everyone else there are so many to choose from, but their cover of California Sun is pure magic.
Boop, I mean bop. Doh!
I put it down to old age myself Gary :-)
This is a tough one but I gotta get into the action here. My most favorite Ramones song varies over the years: (in no particular order)
Blitzkrieg Bop
She's a Sensation
Time Bomb
Sheena is a Punk Rocker
I Wanna Be Sedated
Rockaway Beach
Strength to Endure
Bonzo Goes to Bitburg
and right now it's
Somebody Like Me (replacing Bonzo at the top spot)
Whew, that's hard!
Thanks for your comment PRD. Its certainly not an easy one.
"Oh Oh I Love Her So", but it is hard to choose, Rocaway Beach is also pure Ramones perfection.

They made the mistake of turning the jukebox right up in the pub this afternoon so my favourite Ramones song today was "Tomorrow She Goes Away"
please repost
COMMANDO!
