Aye, but it's very difficult to intentionally play the piano badly. Being unable to play well is a totally different kettle of fish.

I can't really comment on the Ramones musicianship as I'm not really into them, but I think that a band need to be of a reasonanble standard on their instruments. Some bands write really simple songs, but are still really great musicians.

And what's an "average musician"? It's all relative really.
