>Ramones 1976 A After each take, the engineers would ask if I wanted to hear it back. I’d ask them how it sounded. “It sounded good.” So I just said, “Okay, let’s keep going.”
>Leave Home 1977 A Some of these we couldn’t have done on the first album. But we were better players, faster and more skilled at this point. You could hear our development.
>Rocket to Russia 1977 A+ This was the best Ramones album—one great song after another. It has just the right balance of slow songs, ballads, and rockers.
>Road to Ruin 1978 A The production on this is the best of all of them. Joey came to rehearsal with “I Wanna Be Sedated” and played it for us on his one-string guitar.
>End of the Century 1980 B Nothing is bad on this record, and I’d like to hear it with a different production. It was the first time we had to write an entire album from scratch.
>Pleasant Dreams 1981 B- Nobody in the band was speaking, and I didn’t write any songs with Dee Dee, so it has no real punk songs on it. It’s too light.
>Subterranean Jungle 1983 B We did three covers, but I was happy with the guitar sound. I was watching the Brewers-Cardinals World Series when we were recording it.
>Too Tough to Die 1984 A- All of a sudden, we all got along and stopped worrying about making a hit record. This was our best record of the eighties.
>Animal Boy 1986 B- This is the album with the song about Reagan’s visit to Germany, but I wouldn’t let them put it out with the original title, “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg.”
>Halfway to Sanity 1987 B- The tracks on this one aren’t the best. Dee Dee and I wrote “Weasel Face” about a guy who had a real weasel face.
>Brain Drain 1989 C One of my least favorite albums; there were too many Joey songs on it, which always took more time.
>Mondo Bizarro 1992 C The songs are the weak spot on this album. Joey wrote a song about Tipper Gore, and then he goes and votes for Clinton.
