Rocket To Russia  by Ramones

The Ramones, with their third studio album coming in 1977, continue to sweep the scene with the punk rock they play. Covers of songs from the early years of rock 'n' roll, humor, cynicism, speed, and roughness. All these can be found when listening to Rocket To Russia. It should be noted that earlier the same year, the album Leave Home had been released.

The single Sheena Is a Punk Rocker, which was released first, filled expectations for the upcoming album that was recorded with $25,000 in just a few weeks in late summer 1977. This is how the Ramones evolve and step-by-step build their career in the punk rock scene of New York.

Rocket To Russia reached No. 69 on the Billboard and No. 60 in the United Kingdom. Today it is considered one of the best examples of the American punk rock scene.
