Ramones Mania

Song of the week - 2012 (52 music items)

"August 5th-11th "Rockaway Beach" On April 4th we're flying to Oregon for a week-long family vacation. The bulk of our trip will be spent in a swank house in Rockaway Beach, so the above song seems appropriate for this week. Posting this one early because I don't anticipate being back on Listal much until after we get home again."

I was a preteen metalhead (62 music items)

"When my family moved back to Texas in 1990, my first true friend was a skater. We connected over our love of heavy metal and humorous hip-hop, and then he introduced me to classic punk. The Ramones were first, followed by the Sex Pistols, Black Flag, and the Misfits. Here were bands full of outcasts, mad at the world & writing some of the most sincere lyrics I'd heard yet. They taught me that sometimes less is more, and changed my focus more toward the lyrics than the music."
