Ramone’s Picks

If there’s a turntable in punk icon Joey Ramone’s afterlife abode, chances are he’s listening to the MC5. “Kick Out the Jams,” the MC5’s 1969 grungy rock anthem, tops a list of 10 favorites that Ramone compiled this year for Uplister Inc.

The 49-year-old Ramone, whose real name was Jeffrey Hyman, died Sunday of lymphatic cancer. In case you’re wondering, his list does not include Sleater-Kinney’s “I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone.”
