Another reason NOT to like the Ramones...

Annthrax Coulter is a big fan of the "Rock and Roll High School" no-talent group.

Crazy Ann Coulter, the DVD

Is It True What They Say About Ann?

DVD
Burkett, Elinor; Wright, Patrick

Go behind the scenes with Ann Coulter, and meet the woman behind the stinging barb and the quick wit. In the brand new documentary "Is It True What They Say About Ann?" you’ll see the "conservative movement’s diva" at her best:

(snip)

You’ll also get a rare glimpse of the real Ann Coulter:

* Learn about her childhood in -- and flight from -- the suburbs

* Hear Ann talk about how her mother still sends her Easter baskets every year

* Find out about Ann’s passion for such rock bands as the Grateful Dead and the Ramones

has zero to do with her.

You can refuse to listen to them because they SUCK, but to refuse to listen to them because someone you despise likes them is just stupid.

I mean, I bet there are lots of mean-spirited neocon asswipes who like Led Zeppelin, but why should I deprive myself of their great art because of that?

Pft, I don't know, I've never listened to them. I just feel like being antagonistic. Anyway, :grr:!!

Ramones are the KINGS of punk and I don't care if bush himself likes 'em they ROCK.

Only way they'd "rock" (and yes, I have heard them,) is if someone beaned Joey with one. :evilgrin:

Decided to start the first flamewar in the Lounge on Wednesday over a band I think sucks.

(Yes, I am having fun with this, don't take me TOO seriously.)

I also never could stand the Steve Miller Band.

I love Jet Airliner. I like a lot of their songs.

I figured you were doing the flame war thing, what with the throwing rocks at Joey's head line.

Name some bands you like so I can play, too! :D

Michael Jackson
Van Halen (1980's)
ZZ Top
Beatles
Pink Floyd
Genesis

Actually, the only music I DON'T like is church music, opera and "gangsta" rap.

I only like Van Halen from their first album through "1984." Noooooo Van Hagar for me!

:puke:

Album-oriented rock. One of the reasons I was a punk rocker back in the late '70s.

:shrug:

I just can't limit myself like that. I love LOTS o stuff. :)

Genesis for some reason never impressed me.

I like ALL kinds of music.

once Gabriel left they went all commercially poppy sounding and I didn't like them so much.

Check out Trespass, if you're curious... my very favoritest album EVER.

I can enjoy a few songs at least from just about any genre, besides church music.

Can't rag on your taste. Why didn't you name someone I don't like? Are you intentionally being difficult?

I like the way you say 80's VH, instead of pre-hagar VH. :)

I could say I like Boy Bands...:evilgrin:

No, I detest those.

Let's see...I do like Will Smith.

Yeah, I'll admit it.

Will Smith, though? Man... that's bad. Why is he an actor, really? I think I hate his acting more than his 'singing'.

But...but...but....don't you think we "got to get down to Swingtown"?

I saw an interview with Steve Miller, about 10 years ago.
Granted, I wasn't expecting him to be some Einstein.

But Miller went out of his way to be a total DORK.
Lousy lyrics, repetitious brain-dead playing, the works.

she said it!

:hi:

Saw them in concert once... one of the best shows I've ever been to.

once in NYC and two times here. I usually have to defend Yoko, but the Ramones, sheesh. Post modern kids. ( actually the Ramones were post-modern ironically enough) ;)

:wow:

Lennon always said Yoko was punk before there was any. Just one view.

;)

But I really didn't like them. :)

conceptually and musically. But then where would we be without challenging artists? Actually Meredith Monk is probably a little easier on the ears and that is saying something. ;)

The B52's credit Yoko Ono for a lot of their style. "Rock Lobster" could easily been a Yoko song.

I love Yoko Ono. "Walking On Thin Ice" kicked ass!

I was trying to think of the name of it earlier. Grapefruit is another interesting one. Although the B 52s are a little more "melodic." I think Yoko gets way more crap than she deserves. :hi:

But whatever, The Ramones were good too.

The RAMONES will always be the kings of punk in my book.

:wtf: :grr:

Coulter too . . . . I think not.

At a few of their concerts I've talked to people that fell asleep listening, and they wern't stoned.

Hey, this band sucks.

:D

on drugs at 1. They were all good.

:puke:

or maybe it's their patchouli-wearing Trustafarian fans that I find annoying...

day almost anywhere else :)

I guess the last show I saw would qualify as a "bad" show, but only as compared to other shows :). The last show at Shoreline in '95 you could definitely tell Jerry was on a downhill slide.

Ramones suck- my freeper brother likes them. Are they right wing supporters- or do you know? The Tipper Gore song was when she was going after explicit songs and the parental notification campaign.

That's all I know of. They had a song called "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg", so I doubt they were all right wing.

Their lyrics were not typical right wing. And if you agree with Tipper Gore's censorship of music, then that's your problem. The Ramones weren't even a dirty band.

No, I don't support censorship I don't have a problem with parental notification on CD covers, that is not censorship.

Their loud, simple tunes were quite refreshing in the day of Arena Rock. "I Wanna Be Sedated" is still a favorite.

going after Tipper Gore in that context would not be indicative of being right-wingers. In fact, Tipper's support of music censorship smacked of right-wing "values."

:eyes:

they were great for what they were... politics aside. Johnny was a Rep, but not Joey.

She has no effect on my like for the Ramones.

them.

The Ramones are one of the most influential bands of their era, and produced alot a great music.

Besides, they just plain rock!

Gabba Gabba Hey!

The Ramones were AWESOME! I saw them a bunch of times. Joey wrote most of the songs and was influenced by 1960s pop music.

BTW Joey was a BIG liberal, had political fights with RW Johnny. "Bonzo goes to Bitburg" was an unflattering song about Reagan.

fan am I. The Ramones suck monkey puke.

he became known as the balladeer who sounds like he's on the verge of an aneurysm.

many on this thread disagree.

I was a teenage punkrocker, saw them dozens of times, and they were one of the most fun live bands ever.

Maybe they're not your generation. :shrug:

because someone they dont like likes the band.

Good grief :eyes:

I'm just having some fun here. :evilgrin:

I mean, I'm the guy who still likes the stuff I have on tape from "Bad," and "Dangerous." :crazy:

just kidding. But I for one will always stand up for them. ;)

but another on this thread has me worried :)

she and Johnny would have made a lover-ly couple......couple of Nazi's that is.

}(

Now I can never listen to them again. Clearly.

They're OK with some muffling.

Myself, I like to listen to them from two buidings away at low volume, so that it becomes merely a undistracting hum to compte with the birds and the traffic, but not The Byrds or Traffic.

I mean, half the Byrds ARE DEAD! You'd think that'd stop them, but no, there they are with the cyborg corpses of Gene Clark and Clarence White up there propped up by the cadaver of Michael Clarke - and wait! There's Gram Parsons' urn! You're an evil, evil man, David Crosby.

is STILL on tour! Jesus! Jim Capaldi's rotting half man/half robot carcass slamming the skins, staring vacantly out at the crowd....creeps me out, man! I can barely toke up cuz of the bad vibes! Cor!

:o

I mean, we all know you're a supergroup from the realm of the deceased, brought back by an evil magician to play Amish barndances, but do you have to rub it in our faces like that?

Why, that's Terence Trent D'Arby!

very non-corporate and blues based, was pretty good. Sorry guys, I listened to a shitload of Traffic in my youth. ;)

DON'T MAKE ME SEND JOHN LYDON ROUND TO YOUR HOUSE, YOUNG LADY! :D

like I say to the "kids," where do you think all the punks came from? They all had long hair and cut it off after Listening to too much progressive and other forms of rawk!

Iggy Pop had long hair, and he was a punk in 1969. You're just a hippy - a dirty damned hippy! Why don't you get a haircut, buoy? :P

actually I do have really long hair again. I used to cut it off in the punk days... pretty badly, in fact. I still contend that without the hippies there would not have been punk, for good or ill. ;)

No reason to be dissing the boys. They had plenty of talent, and they used it to create far better ends than most.

None at all.

it's stupid not to like a group because Ann likes them too. i like the Ramones and The Grateful Dead- fuck her.

I don't care how "influential" they were, I never cared for them

She's a johnny come lately. I saw the Ramones at her high school, New Canaan High, and she was definitely not there, since everyone but me, my brother and our friends walked out on them.

One of the greatest bands of all time. They tore the place up. And we drank beer out in the parking lot with them after their 22 minute set. If it was that long.

Some people just have no musical taste. At least Anndrew Coulter got ONE thing right. Though it's obvious s/he doesn't really listen to either the Ramones or the Dead, or it would be impossible to be such a hateful bitch as s/he is.

And I am definitely against "it" ('it' meaning 'you', Ann).

they were about playing simplistic music and being loud and it worked. they were the beach boys on glue. I am sure I lost part of my hearing because of them. musical taste is subjective, of course, and I don't get angry when people don't like what I like. :shrug:

Who said, the Ramones are like being run over by a steamroller driven by Bugs Bunny. I thought that was perfect.

every once in awhile, if I was payiing attention, I would catch the 1-2-3-4 in between songs. I can't really listen to their music too much anymore but I do appreciate them for providing a good backround noise to a fun period of my life.

...then it's safe to assume that it isn't so. Therefore, it is still okay to like the 'Mones.

and dead fan. But just because someone who is vile likes something doesn't mean I should dislike it.

Ann's politics are vile, her musical tastes aren't that bad. But I was astounded to find out she smoked weed (shouldn't it give her the munchies or something?) and was a Dead fan

She also said she was friends with Al Franken, and he'd never met her. I don't believe a word she says.

Dead fans and for many Deadheads this came as quite a suprise at the time. Who would have thought TIPPER Gore liked the Dead? Weren't they too "druggy" for her puritan sensibilities?

Ann Coulter has vile politics but even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Here's hoping that multiple listenings of Throwing Stones gets her to come away from the Dark Side.

it was merely to add messagesd that some of the music may not be suitable for all ears. Sort of like the Movie ratings. It got bl;own way out of proportion; just like Hillary's Medical Reform did...:)
