I like the Ramones but if I'm being honest Johnny's disciplined approach is kinda antithetical to what I usually look for in a punk band.
IMO punk rock is at it's best when it's unpredictable and unhinged, and I can't really say that about the Ramones, at the end of the day they just played '60s pop songs really fast and loud, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it by no means sums up everything punk rock is about.

You mean the guys other punk bands said couldn't play their instruments were too perfect? And they don't have to be the most punk rock band ever cause they skipped punk hierarchy jockeying by already being the best rock band of all time before the other bands even had albums out.
