Ramones were brilliant. Simple as that

Totally agree Sir.Major Kudu.

[Five Minutes]

Ramones ?

Brill Building!
Military brats!
Male prostitution!
OCD!

Absolute genius. They're like Abba, how can you not like them?

I wonder how many, like me, were first introduced to their music via It's Alive the double live album that has almost every song that's on the first three studio albums.

[jcinblack]

Yep, its Alive was my first time. I was in shock for weeks after

It's a bit annoying that they're best known by the general public for (IMHO) two pretty crummy songs.

Baby I Love You
Sheena Is a Punk Rocker

After that maybe Blitzkrieg Bop. But they've loads of great songs especially on the first five albums.

I really can't understand anyone who wouldn't like the Ramones,I think some Stranglers fans are a bit prejudice,as the Dingwalls non event had the Ramones on the Clash and Pistols side,but years later Hugh played the annual Joey Ramone bash in the States.Major Kudu.

I just find them tuneless, one sided and moronic. I think your average stranglers fan is a bit more multi dimensional.

That said, I don't mind some of their stuff
