Ramones - End of the century (1980)

End of the Century is the fifth album by the Ramones. It was produced by the famed Phil Spector and was released on February 4, 1980. This album is generally seen as a departure from the bands' original formula of energetic punk rock, and an attempt at reaching commercial success.
After Spector got interested in the band, he offered to produce the next record. Vocalist Joey Ramone was an avid fan of his early work, including many girl groups and a Beatles record. The result was a change in direction of the band's sound. As an attempt at a Top 40 record and mainstream acceptance, its songs are more cleanly produced and longer in length, averaging around three minutes.
The album peaked #44 on the US Billboard Top 100, and peaked #14 on the UK Album charts, making the band's best-selling album in both countries. Even though its highest charting single was "Baby, I Love You", the more known songs are "Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?" and Spector's version of "Rock 'n' Roll High School".
