“Rockaway Beach”, Ramones

This way: Rockaway Beach

In my opinion this is the best Ramones song. Of Course there are many to choose from, but I think they really nailed it here. And so if this is the best song by the best band does that mean that this is the greatest rock and roll song of all time? “Rockaway Beach” is a song by the American punk rock band the Ramones from their 1977 album Rocket to Russia. The song was written by bassist Dee Dee Ramone in the style of the Beach Boys and early surf rock bands. The song is about Rockaway Beach, Queens, where Dee Dee liked to spend time. Guitarist Johnny Ramone claimed that Dee Dee was "the only real beachgoer" in the group. Released in 1977, it was the Ramones' highest-charting single in their career, peaking at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100.
