They're music sucked? The Ramones were just masters of their instruments that's why all their songs sound the same

The Ramones showed more versatility on End of the Century then the Sex Pistols ever did.

True , But the first 2 P.I.L. albums were mostly made up of material Lydon originally wanted to use in the Pistols but was rejected by the rest of the band and McLaren.

I realise that this is no argument to that and that the Pistols never chose to utilize those things but they were there had they chosen to do it. And End of the Century isn't really THAT much of a departure. Apart from a couple of ballads and Spector's OTT production it sounds just like any other Ramones album.

Where did I say the Sex Pistols ever released more than one album? It's a fair comparison to compare one album to one album in addition to that the Sex Pistols were hardly the most versatile band in the world were they? Also all of that still doesn't change the fact you made a blanket statement about the Ramones that was completely incorrect. It's a pretty stupid thing to debate anyway.

It's still more versatility than you see on Never Mind the Bullocks. It's a pretty silly argument anyway seeing as neither of these bands are known for their versatility or even should be. Sweet_Nothing needs to find less hypocritical things to criticize about the Ramones.

The Ramones music does all sound the same i mean to call them more versatile than the Pistols means you must be deaf or just dumb. The Pistols only lasted 3 yrs did they really have alot of time to show just how versatile they were? The Ramones have been around in some from or another since 1974 and haven't shed their 3 chord sound.

Okay oh wise one, who even though I've heard very Ramones album several times, obviously knows more than me. Explain how these two songs sound alike:



Sounds like this

Just because you're too close-minded to enjoy a good pop song doesn't mean its shit. Please explain how musically they're the same.
