V/A – deep roots of the ramones (CD)

Deep Roots of the Ramones compiles songs from bands both pre-punk and protopunk, aiming to cite the influence these early bands would have on the Ramones and the sound they would craft early on and stick pretty diligently to for the remainder of their 22-year existence. The compilation includes stand-out tracks from raw rockers like the MC5, Iggy & the Stooges, and Flamin´ Groovies, as well as early rockabilly and hillbilly rock from acts like Gene Vincent and Chet Atkins (All Music Guide) * Sireena
