There are three stages for the Ramones as far as I'm concerned.
1976-1977: Ramones, Rocket To Russia, Leave Home (the great years).
1978-1984: Road to Ruin, End of the Century, Pleasant Dreams, Subterranean Jungle, Too Tough To Die (the so-so years).
1985-1995: the truly fucking awful years: everything else they recorded.
If you concentrate on 1976/7, then I agree.
