Let’s not forget the genius and perfection of Blitzkrieg Bop. It’s the greatest opening for a debut album of all time. It defines the band right there in just a little over 2 minutes. The insanely infectious guitar riff. The Hey Ho Let's Go chant which would last forever. Joey’s vocals already aggressive and gooey and super on point. No bull**** bass perfectly synchronized with the guitar. Dee Dee and Johnny both pounding down strokes creating that signature sound instantly. Perfect drum beat. Perfect in every way.
When songs become that iconic they take a life of their own beyond the band and maybe that’s why it’s easy to forget they actually ****ing created that ****.
