Besides showing that guys with no talent could be rock stars, what did the Ramones change? Maybe sub the Stooges for a punk entry?

It was more about pushing it over into mainstream thought. This is coming from a person who thinks the Ramones were talentless hacks.

Pretty much one of the first punk bands although they’d be probably would be closer to pop punk than punk if they came out today

Exactamundo.

Never understood the hype. Seemed somebody at the music company was trolling real music artists and listeners, anxious to start a new genre based on leather, "swag" and "rough edges" that required no talent or imagination at all. "Hey! Let's call it 'Punk'!"

I could have grabbed my guitar and three other musicians, half-azzed it at first rehearsal and sounded twice as good (without the "1-2-3-FO!" and speed).

That is exactly why the Ramones are important. They helped create a new DIY sound in rock that influenced countless bands that came after them. They stripped away everything except the primitive rhythms that rock & roll was based on.

And by the way, your statement is what old people said about the early rock & roll musicians like Bill Halley and Elvis.
