That's not entirely true, The Ramones are an old band, and most classic rock fans i know don't speak of them in a positive light, far from it... In fact, they often make comments like the following.
"Punk sucks, it requires no talent, The Ramones killed good bands like Bad Company and REO Speedwagon."
Another i remember and i quote.
"In the 70s Punk killed classic rock, prog and metal."
That's right, punk killed metal, metal has been dead throughout all of the 80s, 90s and present day.
You can't make this sh
it up.
And i like Def Leppard, and it has nothing to do with their time era, especialy since i hate most 80s hair metal bands, they are one of the few that i actually like.
