Ramones Animal Boy

The Ramones' 1986 Studio Album Animal Boy on LP. Includes Classic Tracks "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)" and "Love Kills."

Possibly one of  the Ramones most experimental albums, Animal Boy delivered the world "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes To Bitburg)", "Mental Hell" and "Love Kills" and a bunch of synthesizers, an unusual departure from the band's preferred instrumentation on the previous eight albums. Generally considered one of the band's "underrated gems" this album proved the band's playfulness with influences from early rock and pop could be explored within the parameters of the Ramones signature sound while still evolving.

The Ramones ignited the punk-rock movement with their eponymous 1976 debut album, revitalizing rock and roll at one of its lowest ebbs with attitude, energy and a loud, fast new sound. By cutting music down to its bare essentials – four chords; a simple, catchy melody; a sped up tempo and irresistibly inane lyrics, the Ramones blazed the trail for thousands of bands that followed, influencing everyone from The Clash and The Sex Pistols to Green Day and The Offspring. Although The Ramones never achieved mainstream financial success, they released 21 live and studio albums, had a devoted fan base and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
