Inb4 Frown says no.

I think Ramones are EXTREMELY overrated. I've listened to their debut 5 times to get why it's so popular besides the fact it influenced a whole wide realm of music, and all I can give it is a 6.5/10. I even gave it a higher rating simply because iot was so unioque for its time. Lowest was 1, I believe. My first rating was 3.5. All I'm saying is, I don't wanna listen to the same song made of the riffing techniques and redundant, poor lyrics for half hour.

It's about energy, bruh. You're not supposed to analyze the Ramones or give them a number ranking. You're just supposed to feel the music.

All I can feel is the same song for a half an hour.

It's not really supposed to sound different. A lot of those early punk albums feel like bands that don't really know how to write songs trying for diversity when they couldn't do much more than race the same three chords to the end of a song. The Ramones for the most part didn't didn't concern themselves with any of that self-indulgent nonsense, and just did what they knew how to do. That would be awful for most bands, but the Ramones actually knew what their business was.

Some bands are so great that when you read something like that it really says I will never be able to see greatness even as it stands right before me. If you can't get the Ramones without having it spelled out for you you might as well not even bother listening to music. The helplessness expressed there is just too deep. No rope can reach the bottom of that well.

My favorite genre is punk (probly biggest punk fan on this site) and I only kinda like one Ramones song come at me.

personally i think their first album is sub par to the next fie or so....seriously....go listen to Leave Home - End of The Century

Ramones are severely overrated. Sex Pistols are better.
