1991 The Year Punk Broke.  Excellent doc of a European tour involving Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr., and Babes in Toyland.  Cameo with The Ramones.

i hope their verison of "word up" is better than the korn version.  i had to hear that song every day for 5 weeks.  i don't think i'll ever get it out of my head.

That sounds awful.  I'm sorry.  Perhaps I should rephrase my sentence.  The Ramones make an appearance in the doc.
