Title: Imagine, if you can.

What if Brian, Phil Spector, and the Ramones would've recorded an album in 1978? I know, I know - it's lame to post such a simple "what if?" topic - but the enormity of the thought has my brain on the verge of explosion.

You just made me write my first post.
I always ask myself the same question. I don't understand why the BB (or Brian) never colaborated with The Ramones or at least with Joey Ramone.
The new york band was CLEARLY influenced by the boys. It's my second favourite band.

Cheers form Argentina!

Yeah, but remember where Brian was 1976-1980... Not in a good place, and musically he was mainly into farty and chirpy synths. It would have been definitely interesting, but not necessarily in a good way. Would he have denied Marky from using cymbals? Perish the thought.

Or collaborating with David Marks?

Brian and Eno (would have worked well with the synth phase).

Eno should have produced the 1985 album instead of Steve Levine, that might have been awesome.
