Agreed that it's generally a good mix, but is anyone else getting the feeling that Blitzkrieg Bop is dangerously close to becoming overplayed? Seems like that's the *only* Ramones song one ever hears these days, and there are so many other great ones that are being ignored--even if you just limit yourself to their first two or three records. It must be tracking well on listener surveys.

It's the Ramones song for people who weren't around in 1977 (or were, and were listening to Foreigner).

Well for a while there the only Ramones tune you'd hear was "I Wanna Be Sedated", so maybe they rotate them every couple of years.

Hmm, good point. So what one's next? Sheena is a Punk Rocker? I'd love it if it were Beat on the Brat, but it'd never happen these days.
