Weird Tales of the Ramones (1976-1996)

With the exception of Elvis Presley and the Beatles, it's hard to imagine any act exerting more of an influence on rock 'n' roll than the bruddas Ramone. That importance is captured eloquently on this far-reaching box set, which chronicles the history of the punk pioneers without casting them into the swamp of stodginess that accompanies most historical retrospectives.
