How is that song politically incorrect? Sure, the band's alternate name is "Nipple Erectors," but the song is clean.

The Nips All the Time in the World

Did we fail to mention Brown Sugar or did I miss it? 

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in new orleans.
Scarred old slaver know he's doin alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should

John Battles sez: "It's funny that "Satisfaction" was sometimes censored , yet Jagger throws in the "B" word twice on ("Stupid Girl")"

They probably got away with that because "Stupid Girl" was just an album cut. At a time when radio stations were singles-oriented and rarely played album tracks, that was what made the difference.

They just removed that line...It still turns up. They removed an inoffensive line from "Miss You" , because it went on too long.

I didn't realize there was even a censored version of "Some Girls." I'm curious as to what they changed the offending lyrics to.

Any idea of the release date???

Great news, Gringo! Looking forward to see that one. Thanks for the info.

Hi Andy,

Just in case you haven't seen it so far - HERE'S a good doc about Love. Cheers.

P.S.

Just saw that Jon S. already posted the info. Oh, well.

I couldn't have said it better, regarding the Pleasant Dreams vs End of Century!

End of the Century may have benefited from an aura of legend (with the story of Phil Spector and his gun on the boys) but it is overrated. Pleasant Dreams is clearly dominated by Joey and he was so good at bubblegum songs (especially 7-11!!!!!)

The 1st two albums are just pure classics, every song is great. 3 and 4 were good, but for me not as good as the 1st two. After that it was just a slow march downward for the rest of their career. There were still good songs to be found here and there, but it seemed more and more forced as the years went on and they seemed to not give a crap about their later horrible albums at all.

I think a good jumping off point is when Dee Dee left the band, though they had been going downhill before that.

Even earlier, they were hurt when Tommy stopped being a producer. He got their sound and what they were all about in a way almost none of their later producers did. Even the later rather mediocre Too Tough to Die album benefited from his coming back to produce it and it helped a lot.

The thing is, at a certain point like many long running bands the guys started treating it as a job. Maybe for Johnny it was always just a job. He often said that it was. Once being in a punk rock band is a job...well that isn't really the point of a punk band is it?

My most controversial Ramones opinion: I've always thought Pleasant Dreams was a decent album. It just isn't a good RAMONES album. It's a pop album showcase for Joey. Most people seem to hate it. I like it much more than the highly overrated End of the Century. Phil Spector and the Ramones are not a good mix. Ramones songs need to be stripped down. Wall of sound style just defeats the whole purpose. For me Pleasant Dreams succeeded as a pop album where End of the Century failed as one.

Best album: "Rocket to Russia"

Best analysis: a friend of mine told me (and I found it true) that the 20-year fight between Joey and Johnny helped to keep the spirit. Johnny obvisouly acted as a conservative asshole (not all conservatives are, though) BUT thanks to him, they kept the sound, they kept the look. I love Joey but he was attracted by diversity, which is great in general but could have dispersed them. In fact, the magics comes from the balance between the pop and humanist attitude of Joey, the cool and crazy Jewish boy from Queens and the punk and autoritarian attitude of Johnny, the white trash side of the band.

All those fights may have affected their health. Maybe. But a creative tension was there. You could probably touch it. And it gave great songs, like the KKK took my baby away.

Is my analysis too intellectual? Ok sorry. So... now... 1.2.3.4!!!!!!!!!!

"Chain Saw" + "You're Going to Kill that Girl" = my all time faves.

Just saw that movie. Great stuff!

That "It Came from the Garage II" was a good one.  Besides the Detroit bands below, it also had couple of tunes from Nine Pound Hammer on it.

I always thought the tone for the whole album was set with this crazy tune by Art Phag:

"It Came From The Garage " (2 volumes?) Early Gories , Elvis Hitler , 3D Invisibles, Snake - Out , etc.
 

Yes, it's true about Joy Division coloring book - here's the LINK (pic No. 6). Among the rest lies more weird JD merch (my favs are No. 11 & 12). :)

Nice. I think they were sold out by the time I got out of the house. I have a pic of a Tennessee Ernie Ford's Biscuits and Gravy 45 (TWO 45s) on my page. In the 90's , a woman told me about George Jones' Cat Food and Dog Food. I said, WHAAAAA? She said "Yeah , it was orange - colored , and my dog's STOOL came out the same color ! ". I was kinds disappointed by last years' Record Store Day loot. Lots of artists I love , just nothing rare. iF YOU MUST Overcharge me , give me an incentive to buy. That's all I had to say about it.

I don't think I know that one. Is that an instrumental that very closely resembles "Boss" by The Rumblers? Just as "The Fourth Dimension" by The Ventures is obviously "Werewolf" by The Frantics? "Drug Train" (Which is listed, but does'nt appear , on some copies of "Songs The Lord Taught Us".) is widely believed to have been (Lovingly) lifted from the Rockabilly classic "Please Give Me Something".

Soory if any of these are repeats.

 I've seen "Saddle Up A Buzz Buzz " listed as having been lifted from "Evil Hoodoo" by The Seeds. It's very similar , but , not the same. Fuzzed - out , but , in a different key. As much as I hate to say it , "Misty Mountain Hop" by Led Zeppelin is actually closer.....But , if that was conscious , it's because Robert Plant actually has great taste in music that has little or nothing to do with Zeppelin.

I don't think I know that one. Is that an instrumental that very closely resembles "Boss" by The Rumblers? Just as "The Fourth Dimension" by The Ventures is obviously "Werewolf" by The Frantics?
