That guy has NME reader written all over him

or those who find TOTBL excellent and Antics excellent

it's allright...you need to forgive yourself so the healing process can begin...
get off my back!!i think lcd soundsystem described you people the best:
" i heard u have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody, every great song by the beach boys, all the underground hits, all the modern lovers tracks, i heard you have a vinyl of every niagra record on german imports, i heard u have a white label of every seminol detroit techno hit, 1985, 86, 87, i heard u have a cd compilation of every good sixties cut, and another box set from the seventies, i hear everybody you know is more relevant than everybody i know..."
goddamn snobs!
i mean, chill out people it's just music...

You were the one who dismissed them without listening.it`s not a case of being snobby.

I`ve heard Interpol , I`ve heard Gang Of Four & I`ve heard Joy Division. I`m making an opinion on 3 bands i`ve heard and out of the 3 I rate the other 2 higher than Interpol.It`s got nothing to do with how old the album is or how underground it is it is because...

1. I think Ian Curtis is a great both vocally & lyrically
2. I rate Peter Hook as possibly one of THE best bass players ever
3. Joy Divison are much more musically diverse than Interpol ever have been
4. Joy Division are one of my favourite bands & it`ll take more than a bunch of overhyped NME poster boys in suits to change that

Musically snobbery?

I don`t think so.

i'm from croatia! the only way i can get nme here is in my dreams...but without nme i would have been deprived of the likes of franz, bloc party, kings of leon and many more...they were the first who spread the word right? well they have a great taste in music as far as i'm concerned!

deprived of franz ferdinand. sounds like a big loss.

I'm 22 and I love joy division. How can you say you have better taste in music than anyone when taste is subjective. Why would restricting what you listen to improve your musical taste and knowlege? And to say 'you are the ones that are closedminded'!! Why?!? You can't make a point like that without justification. Is it really closed-minded to listen to music irrespective of when it was made? And to say interpol 'have done it better' than joy division! WTF. Firstly, you're wrong! and secondly, you have only heard one joy divison song!!!

thats all well and good, each to their own and all that jazz, but dont slate the older stuff without ever listening to it.

P.S, its narrow minded, not closed minded.

thank you for pointing out my error...real nice...at least i speak other languages...how good is you spanish or italian, french maybe...i think not.
and i never slated? the older stuff...i just meant there's no point in starting to listen to it now that i've already heard the stuff that it evolved into, get my drift?i'm sorry i didn't mean to be disrespectful o supreme authority in music, please forgive me

and ok...recomend the best songs from joy division so i can download them...
