The Ramones's Subterranean Jungle

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNOfFaTokUQ

Description: The Ramones crash through the doors of a grimy subway car on the cover of 1983’s *Subterranean Jungle*, looking like they’ve just clawed their way out of the underground New York they helped soundtrack. Shot in midtown Manhattan (NY 10019), the image freezes that moment when punk was fraying at the edges—Marky on his way out, Richie about to step in, the band still clinging to leather-jacket mythology as the city above them gentrified. The fluorescent car lights, battered metal, and blank commuter stares outside the frame say as much about Reagan-era NYC as the buzzsaw guitars inside the record. Track it down as one stop in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
