when ram was released in "71" it was hailed as the worst album of all time. I hated it. It was so shallow,so dumb that it was embarassing to listen to,mccartney's songs which were supposed to have humor were humorless,and if thats not enough he made his wife an equal conspirator in this thing,the problem was,she could not sing,let alone play musical instruments.that was in 1971.i bought a reissued dvd of ram this week and i can say without a doubt,after listening to it again,that ram IS THE WORST ALBUM OF ALL TIME.The excesses of dumb lyrics,non-melodies,and mccartney's presumption that he could sell the listening public anything no matter how bad it may be,no matter how strained his cute vocals provoked contempt rather than pathos, and finally the ameturism of Linda's vocals,the sound of her voice when laced into the songs starts at the base of the spine,creeps upward until the brain has to try to figure what the hell its hearing..
