The Greatest Music
Leave Home
by Ramones
The 510th greatest album of all time
Leave Home, the Ramones second studio album from 1977, continues the band's fast, stripped-down punk-rock approach while introducing slightly fuller production and tighter arrangements compared with their debut. The songs are short and propulsive, built on simple power chords, driving drums and catchy, blunt melodies that merge raw punk energy with elements of early rock and roll and pop sensibility. Its concise songwriting and minimalist execution reinforce the Ramones aesthetic and helped solidify their place in the emerging punk scene.
