They did a lot more, music wise, than you!
Ouch. That cut me to the bone...har! So now I agree they were musical genious - not. Crap is crap no matter how you want to slice it. It may have been a moment in your life, but then I feel bad for you not knowing melodic music.
I grew up with Motown and the greatest R&B groups ever, so I know a little of about this music stuff, not to mention being a drummer and lead singer in bands. No, I didn't reach their level, so what? Later, I grew to love the Stones and their renditions of R&B classics and their own originals. The Beatles sucked.
Have fun listening to the Ramones. Music is what you feel. If you're about their songs, so be it.
