Episode 16: The Ramones' "End of the Century" (1980)

from Everything is a Primary Source · host Eric Salmonsen

"Doomsday's Coming, 1981" Analyzing the Ramones' "End of the Century" (1980) album cover as a primary sourceThe Ramones are my all time favorite rock group, so choosing the cover art to their 1980 album "End of the Century" to analyze as a primary source creates a nerding-out fiesta.  The cool, casual voice of my friend and music aficionado Kris is who you'll hear in between my blurting out of Ramonesmania.Was 1980 the right time for the New York punk quartet to pull from the past for their sound and image?  Kris and I weigh in on how a picture of a leather jacket-less Ramones may have acted as a turning point for the group.
