Do any other true punk fans out there hate the Ramones?

Question

just wondering.i cant stand em.cept myabe blitzkrieg bop and like 2 other songs.they really are one of the most boring sounding punk bands of yesteryear.

Answer 1

anything pre rock n roll highschool Ramones

was pretty lame stuff, and johnny rotton was way

too Anarchy. i didn't like either. sorry.

Answer 2

Two questions for you:

How old are you, and what defines a "true" punk fan??

The Ramones embraced everything that was punk, back in the day. They helped keep rock and roll's energy focused where it should be: in a simple, straightforward, 3-chord/ 3-minute long, no orchestration, no fancy production, no over-dubbing direction.

You're lucky you're not listening to disco right now.

Answer 3

I'm not a fan of punk music, but when I think of Punk I think of Black Flag, not some as you put it "boring" band of yesteryear. The Ramones were more poppy, and they were pretty overrated.  

Answer 4

Since punk rock was only a rift of 3 chords, the

Ramones were the Masters. If you wanted diversity,

then you listened to the Clash.

Answer 5

i hate ramones i hate everyone who likes them because its cool to like them and i especially hate them with their stupid ramones t-shirts

Answer 6

I think they're overrated. And like the person above me said, it's true! It's "cool" to like the Ramones, and their shirts have become the fashion. :/ People that have probably never heard of them are wearing their shirts!
