The Ramones played before an audience for the first time on March 30, 1974, at Performance Studios.[6] The band's debut album, Ramones, was greeted positively by rock critics.[7] The album was not a commercial success, reaching only number 111 on the Billboard album chart.[8] Their next two albums, Leave Home and Rocket to Russia, were released in 1977.[9] Rocket to Russia was the band's highest-charting album to date, reaching number 49 on the Billboard 200.[10] In 1978, the band released their fourth studio album, Road to Ruin. It failed to reach the Billboard Top 100. However, "I Wanna Be Sedated", which appeared both on the album and as a single, would become one of the band's best-known songs.[11] The artwork on the album's cover was done by Punk magazine cofounder John Holmstrom.[12]
