The Ramones knew they weren't great musicians but they also knew music was about more than technical ability. Joe Strummer voiced his concerns to Johnny Ramone that he didn't think the band was good enough musically to perform at CBGB but Johnny told him who gives a ****? Punk was always more about attitude, delivery, and the message than technical ability. And of course crafting kick-ass tunes.
But I don't know why I'm making the same points that have been brought up so many times. I'm just fueling this goddamn redundancy.
