Ramones - Pleasant Dreams
72

A fine album. Nothing really too special apart from a few tracks.
Best songs:
The KKK Took My Baby Away
We Want the Airwaves
7-11

Ringo Starr - Long Long Road
70

I actually don’t mind this. But he should definitely retire.

Ringo Starr - Look Up
66

I guess it’s passable man

Ringo Starr - Give More Love
8

I could feel it. My life flashing before my eyes… I saw God’s hand extending, ready to shake mine and welcome me to the afterlife… then the album ended and I was fine.

Ringo Starr - Postcards from Paradise
20

This dude bro. I swear his past like ten albums now have all been the same bullshit. Can we also acknowledge how horrendous these album covers are?

Ringo Starr - Ringo 2012
45

Same as the last. Bland and bad.

Ringo Starr - Liverpool 8
18

Mentally draining album. Post.

Ramones - End of the Century
49

This just isn’t a Ramones album. Bringing Phil Spector in was an insane mistake. I get that they wanted to be popular, but this is one of the worst cases of selling out. I can still enjoy some songs.
Best songs:
Do You Remember Rock n Roll Radio?
Rock n Roll High School
All the Way

Ramones - Road to Ruin
95

This album, while still amazing and influential, is noticeably lesser than their first three albums (all 100/100). Though, I like the sound, at certain points I’m skeptical of the new pop-oriented sound and some songs I begin to zone out of. Still a great album, don’t get me wrong.
Best songs:
Don’t Come Close
It’s a Long Way Back
She’s the One

Ramones - Rocket to Russia
100

The Ramones are the only artist (at least that I’ve heard) to have their first three albums all be 100/100s. Rocket to Russia continues the trend of being an amazing and influential punk rock album. This album shakes things up with mixing punk with some surf and “bubblegum” elements that I actually really love. Does it surpass the debut? Nope. But is it one of my top 35 fav albums? Absolutely.
Best songs:
Why Is It Always This Way?
Cretin Hop
Sheena is a Punk Rocker

Ramones - Leave Home
100

Few artists have been able to get two consecutive 100/100s as their first two albums, and The Ramones are one of these artists to achieve this feat. This album is everything that The Ramones did right on their debut with a more “rock ‘n’ roll” twist. Just another perfect album. Would I call this better than the debut? No. But is this album still top 30? Yes. Definitely.
Best songs:
Carbona Not Glue
Commando
Suzy is a Headbanger

Ramones - Ramones
100

An amazing debut album that completely changed the music scene forever. This short ‘n sweet album is the first and definitive punk rock album. Simple, loud and short. This album is among many of the few actual perfect ones. Not one song lacks, I was fully captivated the entire way and I was amazed. This album is one of my top 15 favourites and it will likely stay there.
Best songs:
I Don’t Wanna Go Down to the Basement
Judy is a Punk
Chain Saw

Ringo Starr - Choose Love
50

An attempt. A for Affort.

Ringo Starr - Ringo Rama
82

One of Ringo’s strongest albums.
Best songs:
Never Without You
What Love Wants to Be
Trippin’ On My Own Tears

Ringo Starr - Vertical Man
80

I don’t get the hate for this album. I think it’s a fun album. The “Love Me Do” cover is definitely terrible but I don’t think it weighs the album down too much. Ringo’s successful streak continues.
Best songs:
What in the… World
Vertical Man
King of Broken Hearts

Ringo Starr - Time Takes Time
80

I really like this album and this is the first album in a streak of a few albums by Ringo that I don’t actually mind and can actually put on.

Ringo Starr - Old Wave
33

Shoulda stuck to being a Thomas the Tank Engine

Ringo Starr - Stop and Smell the Roses
52

Uninteresting and boring album. A step-up, though! Not many people get the chance to go from “genuinely atrocious” to “boring”.
