dalsh327 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I don't think he got what The Ramones were about at the time (1976). Joey could be goofy and drunk, but D-U-M-B he was not. http://thequietus.com/articles/04797-morrissey-s-supreme-13-favourite-albums?page=13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKKDARK Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Morrisey is 100 times more talented than the Ramones.They are the most overrated band ever, behind KISS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Never got the appeal of this guy or the Smiths.Same here never liked fag Morrissey and even gayer The Smiths, Ramones would piss all over them Joey Ramone had more talent and integrity then these nancies combined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 In Morrisseys defence, a good chunk of the first listeners of The Ramones had the same criticism, some of the same people who became their biggest fans afterwards despised them as a band. I suppose it's difficult to see now but in 1974 a band like that were pretty offensive to the sensibilities of about 99% of music listeners.

The notion i guess was that The Dolls were something to do with some of the air Andy Warhol breathed and hence, there was some sort of governing genius to their thing whereas The Ramones were fucking dumbasses...but yeah, i always saw The Ramones as a sending up of as well as a fond celebration of the core of rock...and nailed in a way no band before or since has.Even David Jo' didn't dig The Ramones to begin with, he's in some documentary or another like, y'know, saying he thought they were awful when they started out. Then again, the whole Buster Poindexter episode is an indicator that DJs judgement is perhaps not the soundest it could be Edited September 21, 2012 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
