So the takway is that both of you clowns are capable of reading a words definition and still failing to understand it. Go you.
Cawlin, in fact, doesn't even understand the word "more."  No wonder he has trouble with more "nuanced" words.
The Ramones music is nuanced, as I said and as Cawlin admitted before he tried to weasel out of it. The fact that you two buttcheeks don't get that is a testament to your ignorance.
I covered this. The Ramones music has nuances of Motown, Doo-Wop, The Beach Boys, early Beatles (hence the original critics comment) and old school soul. The guitar itself is produced and amplified to include harmonics within the power chords, arguably adding nuance within the single chords themselves and creating harmony at the base level, while the songs contain nuances of the same musical genres, along with the new themes added through their own comic style.
Simple and subtle are NOT mutually exclusive.

I am not making this up. Every word can be confirmed in the writings of top musicians, rock critics. writers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Namely, experts who know what they are talking about. (Rather than Outposters who don't.)
Your biased and misguided opinion of the Ramones doesn't change the reality of their music.
While I am at it, which of you two guitar heroes can actually play a note?
You sure do go to great lengths to try to convince us all that the Ramones don't suck. I just thought I should be the one to tell you that it isn't working.

The Ramones don't suck. They were a great band. I agree on that much with the badger.

Agreed. They were a great band, not the greatest of all time imo, but that's as subjective a thing to say as someone's favorite kind of soup. The fact is they toured for over 20 years playing like 100 dates a year or something absurd like that. However, nuanced, they were not.

You don't even know what more means.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I am simply reporting the facts here. To back up my claims I have the entire rock music industry, countless covers, stories, interviews and critics from top rock musicians, top writers, top producers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
All of Rock pays homage to the Ramones as one of the greatest bands of all time, and agree that they revitalized Rock at it's lowest ebb (and again, that is a quote.) They saved Rock and Roll! 
"Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania.[7] However, recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now cited in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the 50 Greatest Artists of All Time[8] and VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.[9] In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only The Beatles.[10] On March 18, 2002, the Ramones—including the three founders and drummers Marky and Tommy Ramone—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[2][11] In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.[12][13]
Johnny Ramone was ranked by Rolling Stone as the 16th greatest guitarist of all time. Looking at Cawlin's "list" only Jimmy Paige outranks him there...and that was the only one I conceded to even belong on the list.  I don't agree with much of their list but it's nice to have Rolling Stone validate what I said.
Your opinions are in conflict with provable reality but that doesn't stop your stupid.
With the exception of the Beatles no band has been more covered or more copied.

I would like to thank you for letting me discover Gabba, a fusion tribute band that combines ABBA and the Ramones.

No, you really are trying to convince people. They don't impress me. I never heard of the Ramones until the outpost, so I went to youtube and I listed to see what they hype was about. I heard a guitarist who knows maybe 4 chords at the most and a singer who sounds like he's being raped by a horse.
Sorry, they suck.
Was he a minimalist guitarist, or did you just drink the kool-aid?

The funny thing is Nannanannaji is such a rabid Ramones fan that he can't even be happy you agree with him that they're a great band. You not only have to like the Ramones, you have to like them exactly like he does! |
