From Booklist

The Ramones were the first punk band, the inspiration, on their first British tour, for the Clash and the Sex Pistols. This svelte collection documents their visual appeal. Few rock images scream "icon" more than Dayton's of Johnny Ramone, both in color on the cover and in its more familiar black-and-white incarnation inside: "He's . . . got his leather jacket on, he's got his foot way out in front, he's got the ripped knee of the jean, he's got his Mosrite guitar, and he's got a real aggressive pouty look on his face. It really personified punk rock," and it sets the tone. Joey and Johnny get the most face time, but bassist Dee Dee, drummer Tommy, and replacements Marky and CJ aren't poorly represented. Of drug-crazed Dee Dee, Jesse Malin says in the introduction, "His insane genius . . and image pretty much defined the punk rock rebel model." Ditto, the rest of the band. Mark time till the Ramones documentary End of the Century comes out with these dramatic stills. Mike Tribby
