Some of my posts earlier mentioned 53rd & 3rd Records. The label was originally named after a song by American band The Ramones who have often been regarded as the very first punk band. I had intended to include 53rd & 3rd plus 4 tracks from throughout the band's career but in the end I couldn't resist just using 5 tracks from the band's self titled debut. That's not to say their other albums aren't good. They are and I will post some other stuff another time. Meanwhile enjoy these 5 tracks from one of the best rock bands ever.

Trivia fact #1: The catalogue number of every record released on the 53rd & 3rd record label had the prefix AGARR, which stood for 'as good as (a) Ramones record' which every record released by the label (allegedly) aspired to be.
Trivia fact #2: The 5 Ramones songs above have all been covered by other artists, the first 4 by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Rob Zombie, Metallica and Pete Yorn respectively. Track 5 fairs a lot better as it was covered by Sonic Youth.
