THE RAMONES had more infectious melodic genius in their pinkies than all of the talents of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin combined.
In fact, if you were to put U2, The Clash, Bob Dylan, and any of the Grateful Dead into a room with Nick Cave AND PJ Harvey, none of these so-called "greats" could EVER write ONE SONG even half as satisfying as any random song The Ramones used to knock out of the park with regularity (and without even thinking about it).
THE RAMONES own all of their sorry asses.

OK, musical sacrileges (or not) that I actually believe are true:
1. The eighties were the best decade of Lou Reed's solo career. And Don Henley's.
2. Pete Townshend hasn't made a really good studio album since White City in 1985. But he's never made a bad live one.
3. Paul McCartney's overall solo catalog trumps Lennon's ... though Plastic Ono Band is (still) the best post-Beatles LP, better even than Harrison's All Things Must Pass. Double Fantasy is middle aged pablum that would've been panned if it had been released by Macca or Harrison. Come to think of it, Harrison's solo career trumps John's too.
4. Sandinista! is a great album, but most people can't get their minds around two and a half LPs worth of great music at a time.
5. There was no need for the Ramones career to continue after they'd released the "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" single c. 1983 or so.
6. The Grateful Dead never released a single album that made it even up to "good" status, and if not for their continual touring and cult-like fanatical fan-base would be less remembered than Quicksilver Messenger Service.
7. The Jefferson Airplane were a very good, sometimes great, rock and roll band. The Jefferson Starship were a bad, sometimes good, rock and roll band. Starship were the antithesis of everything good or great about rock and roll.
8. Brian Wilson is overrated. More than anything else, he was the right guy, having the right breakdown in the right place at the right time to build a legend around.
9. Jimi Hendrix was a wanker. A very talented and sometimes musically intriguing wanker, but a wanker none the less.
10. Steely Dan are underrated today.
11. Jack White has passed his musical peak. As has Jeff Tweedy.
12. Paul Weller is god. ;D

This is all true except the part about Plastic Ono Band being the best post-Beatles album. Horse hockey. People don't want to dig through two and half LP's to find the single albums worth of great stuff on it. I'm as surprised as anyone that I'd be defending the Grateful Dead, but American Beauty and Workingman's Dead are better then good. A couple live albums from the early 70's too...no more then a couple though... Jefferson Airplane were never great and it was downhill from there. Holzman, this logic just doesn't stand up...that's how anyone gets famous. However none of that takes away from the fact Brian Wilson is a genius. Yes, yes, yes... maybe Not so much. |

Make out with me instead. It's OK Holzman, we all get confused sometimes. It's nice that DED was here to set you straight. |

Brian Wilson is a fuckin weirdo. I wouldnt let him drive the car to SONIC for a burger. All Summer Long my ass.
Brian Wilson scares me. just like Daniel Johnston. Daniel Johnston beat someone with a hammer. He crashed his fathers PLANE! Im sorry that shit aint cool. I saw THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON and I was floored...Is all this shit made up? NO! Then I had a smoke and a drink for people I know who are kinda like that, kinda like Daniel. People think this shit is funny. IIt is in a sick "I am emptying my karma bowl" type of way.....
I still reccomend the 66-76 period of Beach boys to anyone.
