Pleasant Dreams Totally Explained

Everything about Pleasant Dreams totally explained

Pleasant Dreams is the sixth album by the Ramones. It was released in 1981 (see 1981 in music) by Sire Records. Pleasant Dreams reached #58 on the US Billboard album charts. It is frowned upon by guitarist Johnny Ramone because to him it sounds "too slick" and is generally viewed as part of the Ramones' pop experimentation.
The cover art of Pleasant Dreams was the first Ramones album cover to not feature an image of the band.
The album was certified gold in Argentina in 1993. The album was re-released by Rhino Records on August 20th, 2002.
