10. Ramones — Blitzkrieg Bop (moment in history)

From the Ramones' self-titled debut album, released on Sire Records on 23rd April 1976 — fifty years ago today.

The cover photograph was taken by punk photographer Roberta Bayley, depicting the band against a brick wall. It cost the record company £92.

The album was 29 minutes long. It sold almost nothing on release. What it did was establish the template for punk rock — short songs, fast tempos, distorted guitars, and a complete absence of interest in the prevailing musical culture. Every punk band that followed owes something to it.

Opens the Moment in History segment. The 50th anniversary is the peg.
