Gosh, I haven't heard that for 40+ years... I can see why they were dismissed as a weak Ramones copy.

The "weak Ramones copy" criticism was and is harsh
There's so much to enjoy in their back catalogue

The Lurkers were a punk band with a pop sensibility so not looking to compete with his Bobness, wonderful though he is.
And peaking at 49 in the charts is pretty good for a group on Beggars in 1978
The pop kids know
Here they are on Revolver

Best 'yoof' TV show ever by a country mile. Back on topic, their finest moment, to my ear.

^ Another goodie for sure - and it set the template
By the by, I am wearing my Lurkers Freak Show t shirt today - that's another firm fave and a total punk classic
