Normally, the music that I listen to is more "pure Rock" oriented. However, there are a few Punk-Rock bands that have caught my attention. Ramones is one of them. They are often called the band that created the Punk genre, but I feel they are still Rock enough for me to absolutely love and they feature a lot of fantastic tracks!

If you want to listen to more than these ten songs, check out my Playlists, you find all my Ramones songs in Playlist 29. For this Top List, I have a short description of why I like each song, but I primarily figure the songs will speak for themselves!
I hope you enjoy my top 10 favorite Ramones songs!

#10 Glad to see you go
I found this song fairly recently and I really dig it. It is in many ways a pretty standard Ramones song, but what I really like is that it changes tempo many times throughout the song, which makes the song unpredictable and interesting.
#9 Sheena is a Punk rocker
The first time I heard this song I didn't like it, it felt too repetitive lyrics wise. However, over the years it has grown on me and now I even rate it on my top ten. I can't say exactly why I like it, but I do, and it sits safely on my list for now!
#8 I don't Wanna Grow up
A very solid Ramones song. It has all good aspects with vocals and instruments but it especially the lyrics that I really like about it. The words "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" describes me well, I just want to sit and listen to music all day, every day!
#7 Do you wanna dance?
It's hard to review this song. I really like the melody and the instruments in this one, but like Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, it is a bit repetitive in its lyrics, and it's also quite short. Still, I keep coming back to this one over and over, nonetheless.
#6 I wanna be sedated
The third song in a row in this list with the word "Wanna" in its title and the best of the bunch. This is all around a great song and one of the first I heard with Ramones. I feel there is a big chance this might climb the list in the future!
#5 Blitzkrieg Bop
This song is quite short, just over two minutes. However, in its short runtime it has me spellbound and I really love this song. It's also one of the first, if not the very first Ramones song I ever heard, so I'm quite nostalgic about it.
#4 Rockaway Beach
Another fairly short song, but who cares when the music is this good! This has such an amazing high tempo melody and nice matching lyrics that it gives a ton of energy and is a perfect remedy for days when I feel down or tired!
#3 Poison Heart
A clear candidate for my all-time favorite Ramones song. The lyrics and vocals are great, but my favorite part of this one is the melody. It's very mesmerizing and I just love how they handle the instruments in this one. Top notch stuff indeed!
#2 Bonzo Goes To Bitburg
I love this song, and it keeps growing on me and is surely a candidate to be even number one, the list is that tight. I go with the original title, but if you wonder, this song was retitled and is also known as "My Brain is Hanging Upside Down".
#1 Pet Sematary
This is one of my favorite songs of all time! I love everything about it, especially the lyrics. The fact that it was written in the basement Stephen King (The King of Horror), the author of the novel with the same name, makes it even more epic!
