The Ramones are terrible? You're just asking to get flamed.
Anyway, the Beatles had the unique distinction of having four front men. You might disagree, but I've actually seen Ringo in concert.
Without the Everly Brothers, the Beatles would have had a harder time catching on. Without the Monkees, the Beatles would have had a harder time being accepted by the average American.
A lot of popular music isn't that good. I find that the best track on an album (yes, I'm old enough to say album) is often not a hit at all. (By best I mean the one I like the best.) For example, one-hit-wonder David & David (excellent band name!) is pretty much known for Welcome to the Boomtown. However the track "River's Gonna Rise" is a much better song. Or consider Boom Crash Opera, whom most American's can't place, but have heard their song "Onion Skin". A fun song, but there's a track called "Dancing in the Storm" which is better.
It is a little sad that in this age of downloadable singles, tracks like this rarely appear.
