Rare vers with the Portuguese on the cover! Includes Insert. Ramones are an iconic American punk rock band formed in New York City in 1974. Known for their fast-paced, three-chord songs, simple melodies, and catchy hooks, the Ramones are often credited with pioneering the punk rock genre. Their music, characterized by its brevity and raw energy, had a profound influence on the development of punk and rock music globally. Album: Brain Drain (1989)Brain Drain is the 11th studio album by the Ramones, released in 1989. This album marked a period of transition for the band, both musically and in terms of lineup changes. Brain Drain is notable for being the last album to feature Dee Dee Ramone, the band’s original bassist and primary songwriter, before he left the band. It also marked the return of drummer Marky Ramone after being absent for a few albums. The album blends the Ramones' signature punk rock style with a slightly heavier and darker sound, reflecting the tensions and changes within the band at the time. Despite these challenges, Brain Drain produced some notable tracks that would become fan favorites. Notable Tracks:"I Believe in Miracles" - One of the standout tracks, this song has a more optimistic tone and became a staple in the Ramones' live performances."Pet Sematary" - Written for the Stephen King movie of the same name, this song became one of the band’s biggest hits during the late '80s, featuring a darker, more melodic sound."Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" - A unique Christmas-themed punk song that showcases the Ramones' ability to blend humor and emotion."Don't Bust My Chops" - A fast-paced, aggressive track that echoes the classic Ramones sound with a bit of added grit."Punishment Fits the Crime" - A Dee Dee Ramone-fronted track with a driving rhythm and a slight departure from the typical Ramones style.Brain Drain might not be as universally celebrated as some of the Ramones' earlier work, but it remains an important part of their discography, highlighting the band's evolution and their ability to adapt while still maintaining their core punk rock ethos. 50 Similar ArtistsIf you enjoy the Ramones' Brain Drain and their distinctive punk rock style, here are 50 artists you might also like: The ClashThe Sex PistolsThe Dead BoysThe StoogesThe MisfitsThe BuzzcocksThe DamnedJohnny Thunders & The HeartbreakersNew York DollsThe DictatorsThe CrampsThe SaintsThe VibratorsThe UndertonesThe AdvertsThe JamRichard Hell & The VoidoidsStiff Little FingersSham 69Generation XThe RezillosThe PlasmaticsX-Ray SpexThe SlitsXSocial DistortionBad ReligionRancidDead KennedysBlack FlagCircle JerksThe GermsDescendentsMinor ThreatHusker DuThe ReplacementsThe Ramones (side projects like Joey Ramone's solo work)The Bouncing SoulsThe QueersScreeching WeaselThe VandalsNOFXAnti-FlagThe ExploitedThe DwarvesThe CasualtiesThe BriefsThe LurkersThe BoysU.K. Subs ____ All records ship both domestically (USPS Media Mail) and Internationally (USPS), and will be packed/protected like a pro with experience.
