The Best Song Covers, Part 2

My earliest memory of hearing the Ramones was when I was in junior high watching an episode of “Space: Above and Beyond” (back when it was on the air for the one season) and the space fighter pilots were listening to “Blitzkrieg Bop”. The rest of the episode was long forgotten because I searched the house for my dad to ask him who it was singing that song. Since then, the Ramones have been one of my favorite bands.

Two of their best songs were covered by Green day, back when they were actually punk and not the faux-rock crap-peddlers they are today, when, on March 18, 2002, the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I could go on all day long about the Ramones, but instead I’ll leave you with two great live performances of these songs, by the guys that forever changed the American music scene:

The Original: “Teenage Labotomy” by The Ramones (Live)

The Original: “Blitzkrieg Bop” by The Ramones (Live)

The Cover: “Teenage Labotomy” and “Blitzkrieg Bop” performed by Green Day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
