They are based because of their retardation, extremely based. But my vote for best American rock band is VH

By being unpretentious, ignoring the trends around them, in it for the fun, and being too stupid to make anything complex anyway.

not even in the top 5 tho
wtf, exactly, that sounds like a recipe for disaster

>ignoring the trends
they had the biggest pop producers of their time working on their albums.

Joey Ramone's posthumous Don't Worry About Me (Sanctuary, 2002) and Ya Know (2012) were terrible ways to pay tribute to him.

That is a ridiculous and indefensible description of Criag Leon who produced debut. Fuck you for lying and getting me to look it up, and fuck me for wondering if it was true.

>struggle with mental and physical health problems all your life, going in and out of hospitals
>tirelessly tour and write music for 20 years with almost no recognition
>every time you come close to success, you get consistently fucked over because the motherfucking sex pistols do something shitty every time that makes US radio stay far, far away from even thinking about playing punk music on the radio
>tensions with other lead band member fester for over a decade and the two of you don't speak for the rest of your lives
>never get a no 1 hit, and the only songs that even chart aren't even until almost two decades later, one of them only gaining popularity because of its association with Stephen King
>green day comes along and goes multi platinum overnight with songs like "Basket Case" and "Welcome to Paradise" and make millions of dollars ripping off your blueprints

DRUGS, AND LOTS OF THEM!
ALL KINDS OF DRUGS!

Then wrote one good song then related variations of it for decades.

Yeah, they sure grate on my nerves with that crappy blues based rock with those long, overindulgent guitar noodling.

Fucking worse than The Grateful Dead, eyes tells ya....

Sorry, but it's objectively The Velvet Underground.

True

>blues based rock
I think you meant blues, country, jazz, folk based rock. But Sure why not just play the same 3 chords over and over

holy shit bros this album slaps (once you remove the ads and movies you associate with the music)

Rock without the blues is not rock. 77 punk is a corruption and garbage noise
