I listened to that song In My Eyes, I've never heard that before.
I'd say that was thrash punk if that makes sense.
It sounded a little more L.A. influenced, more hardcore, but that's what most all of RATM's stuff sounds like, just some has a little hip-hop influence too.
I think that The Ramones weren't classified as pop-punk because they were one of the first and back then everything was "heavier". Maybe that's why it was called punk-rock, it was proto-punk anyway. I mean if Green Day had come out as early as that with their American Idiot album it would have probably been classified as punk, because when it just started people hadn't discovered all the little sub-genres and whatnot. I think The Ramones didn't appeal to EVERYONE as well and that's why they were more "punkish". I guess they weren't as popular as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin at the time so they were more "underground". I wouldn't call Green Day "underground".
But I don't know, I wasn't alive in '78. so I wouldn't know. I've just been rambling.
