Ramones
The Ramones were an American punk rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. They are often cited as the first true punk rock group. Despite achieving a limited commercial appeal in the United States during their time together, the band saw more success in England and Brazil, and are today seen as highly influential. All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", although none of them were biologically related; they were inspired by Paul McCartney, who would check into hotels as "Paul Ramon". The Ramones performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, they played a farewell concert in Los Angeles and disbanded. By 2014, all four of the band's original members had died – lead singer Joey Ramone (1951–2001), bassist Dee Dee Ramone (1951–2002), guitarist Johnny Ramone (1948–2004) and drummer Tommy Ram ...

The album's title ''End of the Century'' came from a couplet found in the lyrics of the song: "It's the end, the end of the seventies/It's the end, the end of the century."

Durango 95 (song)
"Durango 95" is a short instrumental by the punk rock band The Ramones. It is the fourth track on their eighth studio album ''Too Tough to Die''. The song is a cultural reference to the car driven by Malcolm McDowell's character in the 1971 film ''A Clockwork Orange''. The cover of the ''Too Tough to Die'' LP recalled a scene in the film. The track is also the only instrumental piece that the band ever recorded. Composition "Durango 95" is a three-chord song with the bass playing the root notes. The drum style is quite complicated for a punk rock song due to the cymbal crashes and 7/4 time signature used in the tune's second section. The song is the shortest of all of the album's tracks. It was made an instrumental essentially to fulfill the cultural reference that Johnny Ramone wanted to give it. Live shows After releasing ''Too Tough To Die'', the Ramones started most of their shows with "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" theme song in a slow crescendo. At its climax, they woul ...

Parental Advisory
Advisory (abbreviated PAL) is a warning label introduced by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1985 and adopted by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in 2011. It is placed on audio recordings in recognition of profanity or inappropriate references, with the intention of alerting parents of material potentially unsuitable for children under the age of 16 or the age of majority.

Several retailers will distribute both versions of the product, occasionally with an increased price for the censored version, while ...
