9. The Ramones: Undeniably Awesome, Indisputably Untalented

Hey, let’s talk about the Ramones, one of the most beloved rock bands in the world. And they are awesome, because they personify the grit and spastic aggression that the best rock music inspires. Here’s the thing though, the Ramones sucked. They knew like three chords, Joey wasn’t a great singer, and they were all gawky creeps. Was their music magically appealing? Somehow. But to say that they’re a “win” for American rock music is way off base.
