How? The only thing they were guilty of to me, was being ahead of their time. I really WOULD place my bets, if music were a horse race, on Vernon Reid over Hendrex, and James Hetfield. I'd take Living Colour over the Beatles, Rush, Pink Floyd, and yes, even ABBA.

I don't see talent at all in the Ramones. Simple songs, sloppy playing, off pitch vocals. That's why they are a "you had to be there" group. At least ABBA had great arrangements, polish, and viking women.
I don't think they were sloppy at all. The Ramones were simply competing against cookie cutter music, That is what punk is.
