The Ramones are the worst band ever.

Notice hgow fagget speed comments on st anger. cus that is political correct to insult in the metal word. but God forbid you fucking mention the ramones. all hell breaks loose. double standard faggetry
 
Yeah, GoD, me too. I think...

I never minded the Ramones. Like 'em better than the Sex Pistols, anyway. I'm more of a pop-punk, Blink-182/GC/NFG/Starting Line kind of guy, so...

The point is punk is what it is. Some people prefer a two/three chord, lame lyrics, "punk" band over cheesy pretentious metal, and that's perfectly okay. It's insulting a band for not being cheesy or pretentious that's bad. The Ramones might not have the sophistication or gR1mne$$ of Darkthrone or Spock's Beard or whatever, but expecting them to is missing the point.

Oh, btw, I think a lot of the comments made so far were out of line, and I applaud those attempting to do damage control.
