We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to the Ramones

Pros: Cool new spins on great old tunes
Cons: Reminder that the Ramones are no longer around

If there's any punk band worthy of a tribute album, it's the granddaddies of 'em all - the Ramones. The great thing about their latest tribute is that it features not just big names in punk, but some of the biggest names in all of rock. We're a...

Pros: see review
Cons: a couple of the songs are hard to grasp

Pros: Ramones songs performed by some of the hottest bands and artists!
Cons: some so-so tracks

Pros: A few really good covers.
Cons: Everything else

I Love the ramones. I mean I love them.Top 10 bands of all time easy. I grew up to thier iconoclastic 3 chord punk ramblings about sniffing glue and being bored. They were one of very few bands that I could really relate to. Then I heard that there was...

Pros: Some good punk bands playing some good songs.
Cons: Too many slow songs on the album, it's the Ramones tribute ablum.
