Their highest-charting album, despite tense recording sessions. 6. Pleasant Dreams (1981)
– The End of the Original Era Produced by Bill Laswell (Bill Laswell? For The Ramones?), this album is weirdly slow and dub-influenced in spots. "Pet Sematary" (written for the Stephen King film) is their last great single—a morose, jangly meditation on death. The album cover is ugly, the vibe is downbeat. It was the last album with Dee Dee writing most of the lyrics before he left to pursue a bizarre hip-hop career.

Considered by many fans and critics to be their finest work. It boasts a cleaner production and includes staples like "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker."
