    Ramones Mania!!!

    The Ramones were probably the greatest punk band ever with their humorous lyrics and 3-minute sonic blasts. This tribute features a number of interesting artists doing their own take on the godfathers of punk. I think the songs that work best here ar...e the ones that tried to do something different with the music. The Red Hot Chili Peppers laid back Havana Affair is easily one of the albums highlights. Rob Zombie's metalized Blitzkrieg Bop comes in a close second. Marilyn Manson's take on The KKK Took My Baby Away is easily the oddest cut on the album with it's creepy vocals and synth background. Other artists like Green Day, Rancid, and The Offspring played fun renditions of classic tunes that pretty much mirror the originals. Overall this is a fitting tribute to a band that was never afraid to be different. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to the Ramones

  • All Music Guide

    In the wake of both Joey's and Dee Dee Ramone's untimely deaths, We're a Happy Family -- a star-studded tribute featuring Metallica, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Garbage, and Eddie Vedder -- was a well-timed reminder of the Ramones' lasting influence. The Pretenders focus the intense yearning of "Something to Believe In" into a spacious ballad, Tom Waits transforms "The Return of Jackie and Judy" into a wild backwoods blues song, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers add waves of melancholy guitar to their Latin-flavored reworking of "Havana Affair." These are moments when you can experience the Ramones' familiar songwriting while savoring the performers' distinct sound.
