Greg Kihn: Again; The Rubinoos: The Rubinoos (Beserkley)
Paul Rambali, NME, 18 June 1977
JOHNNY RAMONE recently pointed out that, if they had come out now instead of the mid-60s, 'You Really Got Me' and 'Doo Wah Diddy' wouldnt stand a chance on the radio. And if American radio is anything like British radio I can understand him complaining about its low energy.
