Ramones tribute album
The Ramones tribue album, now due in February, was spearheaded by Rob Zombie and features a variety of acts playing songs by the legendary New York punk band. Since the pioneering group relied on three-chord riffs and basic instrument skills, it’s not hard to cover the Ramones, but it’s hard to cover the Ramones well.
Many of the covers on We’re a Happy Family are pretty faithful to the originals. (…) While Garbage give “I Just Wanna Have Something to Do” a modern electro sheen, they perform the song in a way that’s instantly recognizable.
