See the thing with the Ramones is that they released three perfect albums before doing anything else. Like, literally three completely perfect albums, 90 minutes of pure perfection, that even in 2019 feels like if you like what the Ramones were doing at the time then you have an hour and a half of exactly that to throw on repeat as if Satan were tempting you with punk.
