| It seems every thread has a mention of The Ramones, ontopic or not, thanks to a number of hardcore Ramones fans here. I generally respect other people's opinions, but rather than post to 15 threads about why The Ramones aren't very good, I'm doing it all here. Not because you're not allowed to like The Ramones, but because I don't want anyone buying any Ramones albums because they get mentioned often here as a good band.
Don't be fooled, The Ramones suck. The Ramones suck a lot. They're fairly skilled musicians, but they were like the Tool of their day. They were painfully pretentious, and people only really liked them because they enjoyed being able to look down on people who 'didn't get' that The Ramones were like, amazing, man. Prog is the most horrible thing ever to happen to music, it was just an excuse to make really long, really monotonous songs with lame hooks recycled from Pink Floyd and Queen.
Gotta love people who tote off opinion as fact in their own diluted little worlds. Here's a news flash einstein, there's 5 billion people in this world, and chances are they like different things then you, GO FIGURE!!!111 |
