(July 2017) I have completed episode 129 of my “opus project,” in which I listen to a band’s full discography. This edition: THE RAMONES. No band better represents the evolution of my musical tastes. In the 1980s, I considered their music as crude, unoriginal noise for simpletons. By the 2000s, I recognized them as f***ing genius.
Favorite album: The Ramones
Favorite song: Havana Affair
Special sauce: Dee Dee
Compared to expectations: same
