Cripes Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Scientists to this day have yet to prove it is possible to play Iggy Pop's "You're Pretty Face Is Going to Hell" too loudly or too often. I need it all honey that's no lie I need a lover with a alibi
The Dean Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 ever heard of KISS? Close freakin' call. Nirvana would also qualify...but they were the 90's so I laid off that reference.
erynthered Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Man, are you a girl? What? You were 5 in the 70's. You were just like most 5 year olds in the 70's that were easily influenced by scum bands like the Ramones. Playing with yourself listening to Johnny is not something to be proud of Joe.
Buftex Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Off the top of my head: Jethro Tull Traffic Allman Brothers Led Zeppelin Rush ELO ELP AC/DC with Bon Scott Taste of Honey KC and the Sunshine Band (well everything but the last two - but I still love the Ramones) Jethro Tull? Rush? Traffic? ELO? ELP? yuckkk!
VABills Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 What? You were 5 in the 70's. You were just like most 5 year olds in the 70's that were easily influenced by scum bands like the Ramones. Playing with yourself listening to Johnny is not something to be proud of Joe. Styx, Spiro Gyra, Cars, Three Dog Night, Jefferson Starship , Atlanta Rythym Section , Boston, Little River Band, Chicago, Little Feat , Van Morrison, Bob Seger, Charlie Danials, Alabama, Eagles, Deep Purple, Foghat, Kansas, Jim Croce, Jethro Tull, Molly Hatchet, Moody Blues, Pat Benatar, Steppenwolf, ZZ Top, Uriah Heep, just to name a few others that were better then the Ramones. sh-- forgot .38 Special, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, BTO, Aerosmith. I am sure there are others. Of course if you are into bad punk like Devo, etc... then I guess Ramones would be up your alley. Although the Ramones really were not that big until the early 80's.
The Dean Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Jethro Tull? Rush? Traffic? ELO? ELP? yuckkk! TRAFFIC. Now you guys are talking music.
Tcali Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 ever heard of KISS? LOL......may I add FOREIGNER to the list??
The Dean Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 OK: Great band of the 70's in SOME (but not exact) order: Steely Dan (still the best band actively recording) Van Morrison (still the best artist actively recording) Traffic Little Feat Santana Zappa (one of the greatest composers of the century, IMO) The Band Allman Brothers Now...for you fans of harder rock and/or Metal Pink Floyd (they were great in the 70's) Led Zepplin (first 4 albums are classic) Blue Oyster Cult (early albums were spectacular...then they sucked) Black Sabbath (see Blue Oyster Cult) Captain Beyond (Best hard rock album ever recorded...2nd album was good, too) Now, this may come as a shock to some but, in the 70's... Elton John didn't suck yet. (Tumbleweed Connection is a classic of ANY time) Bruce Springsteen hadn't become a tired commercial ROCK STAR yet (The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle is GREAT) There are plenty more...but, these will do for now. The SNOB has spoken!

The Dean Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Here's a few I think were better than the ramones. Aerosmith Allman Brothers Band America The Band Black Sabbath David Bowie Alice Cooper Cream Deep Purple The Doobie Brothers Eagles Electric Light Orchestra Emerson, Lake, and Palmer Fleetwood Mac Foghat The J. Geils Band Genesis Grand Funk The Guess Who Jethro Tull Led Zeppelin Little Feat Lynyrd Skynyrd Marshall Tucker Band The Steve Miller Band Mountain Mott The Hoople Ted Nugent The Outlaws Robert Palmer Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Pink Floyd Queen Lou Reed Rolling Stones Santana Bob Seger and the Silver Bullit Band Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Steely Dan Supertramp 10CC Ten Years After George Thorogood Triumph Traffic Uriah-Heep Van Halen Rick Wakeman Edgar Winter Wishbone Ash Yes Neil Young ZZ Top Holy CRAP, I did copy your post. honest, didn't read it. If I HAD, I would have bitched about you putting Steely Dan next to the totally annoying Supertramp (although Supertramp was better than the Ramones).
Buftex Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 David Bowie I love the Ramones, but the bulk of their stuff came out in the 80's. You nailed it with Bowie! I would put his string of albums from the 1970's, up against a decade of work that anyone else in pop music has done, in any decade, save the Beatles, Stones, and maybe the Clash. Bowie was very prolific in the 1970's, averaging an album a year....not like todays' "rock gods" who put out one good album, and then follow it up two or three years later with some crap, another turd two or three years later, a live album, and a greatest hits...Bowie put out one great record after another (starting with "Space Oddity" in 1969 and ending with "Scarry Monsters" in 1980) because he had ideas, and things to say. He wasn't mailing it in to fulfill a contractual obligation like has become the norm....

Major Tom I will add, that I thought he started to put out for the money in the 80's. Nice post Buf

Johnny Coli Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I'm not sure there is. We are in complete agreement on this subject, Joseph. You could make the case that the Ramones were/are the greatest Rock and Roll band of all time. They were equally as proficient in cranking out pop masterpieces as the Beatles, and did it for a far longer period of time.
