This pretty much sums up how The Ramones were influenced.

IMO this song needs to be drilled into every Radio DJ's Brain so they can quit playing shitty ass emo and nu metal.

Phil Spector is the worst producer in history. I have the Rhino remaster of EOTC, and it is correct that the bonus tracks, without the Spector garbage on them are better.

How are you going to tinker with the Ramones with your "wall of sound" when the Ramones are ALREADY a wall of sound?

In the documentary End of the Century, Johnny talks about how the idiot Spector made him replay that first note on Rock n Roll High School dozens of times trying to get some "sound"...and between each take, he'd scream and yell and throw things, and berate the engineer. Fuck Phil Spector!

Punk: Some of the music was great but the people and fans were absolute fucking faggots serious attitude problems.

I actually like Spector's production, at least in the 60s.

As a massive movement, it was only a year.

Ok, I understand now.

I was just saying that some punk bands did pretty well into the early 80s: The Clash etc.....

I've never really been a fan of Brit Punk though: The SKids, The Uk Subs, The Damned, all alright but not spectacular.....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

A lot of the punk bands wern't really punk bands, though.

I've never seen The Clash as a true punk band.

[binnie]

Yeah, they border on to Ska don't they?

I've never liked the clash: I appreciate them, in that I can see that they were good, and that Joe Strummer meant it, it's just not my cup of tea...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Exactly, exactly...

Most of the bands that came out in that period were labelled as punks, even ones that had a horn section (true).

What I really hate aboot them is making up a history, bands should be true to their roots.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Maybe those shitty-assed punks, had they played one tenth of what Hendrix made, could have said a little thing or two about great Jimi's work - so long as they could say anything about Zeppelin or the Stones, BTW.
But... as there isn't the slightest shit to save from anything those lame brats did, when you know a thing or two about music history, you don't even bother searching for what they could say that is musically relevant.
In addition, those guttersnipes had been smashed years before in their alley by the Stooges, anyway.

As for the disco thing, there are a few tracks on "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" that aren't far from the genre at all, IMO. Just IMO.
