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 due to the fact that to him it sounds "too slick" and is generally viewed as part of the Ramones pop experimentation.

The cover art of Pleasant Dreams was appropriated from a Raul's nightclub ad by Austin, Texas-based artist Guy Juke without his knowledge[citation needed]. It was the first Ramones album cover to not feature an image of the band.
