This thread is getting so bad I'm starting to feel like it's rubbing off on me too just for having posted in it a few times.

At least you know what "more" means.

This thread got a lot "more" awful once I stopped seriously posting in it.

I will agree with you there. I'm only as good as my foil and Cawlin is a simpleton.

That said I don't know what you are complaining about. You got some valuable takaways from this thread. You learned how to properly define nuance, you learned more about the Ramones, and you learned more about Rock and Roll in general. It's a "win-win-win" for you Yuki.


Don't mention it. De Nada.

Not news.

The Ramones had massive respect for many artists and their music was in fact very nuanced with regards to their influences. They managed to take from so many places yet still create their own signature sound which reinvented Rock and Roll and was more copied, covered and influential than any band before them, with the exception of the Beatles, who were clearly the most influential Rock band of all time.

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.)

The Ramones were both a rebirth for an entire artform and yet too simple for people who like to think a lot of themselves...but then again people thinking a lot of themselves was part of what was wrong with rock, so maybe it's not that they are too simple but rather that many people are too narcissistic and deluded to fully appreciate them.

Thankfully not all people. Rock itself reveres them as one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands of all time. Sure, the Ramones were fans of Lennon. The current list of rock greats who are fans of the Ramones......that would take pages and pages and turn into a veritable who's who of Rock and Roll.

"One of the Seven Great Rock Bands of All Time."-Spin magazine

"Before the Ramones there was nothing." A Rock Critic.

"The Ramones were the only outside band that everyone looked up to." -Chrissie Hynde

"The Ramones are so tight they are hemmarroidal." Linda Rondstadt



My dick can play more than 3 chords, therefore it must be extremely nuanced.....


Why the fuck did they go in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame first ?

Obviously you have very poor English, if someone posts a reply quoting you, they are obviously talking about the no talent hack band you discussed in the quoted post.


English lessons cannot be too expensive, why not sign up for one and get to meet some women ? You never know old man, they might know more than 3 chords and not act like a vagina about it
