Joy Division...darker and creepier. Reminiscent of Morphine...another band I really liked.

To Shav: The Beatles were [b]not overrated. 😠[/b]

You don't really. You're just being obstinate.

Overrated.

How many albums did they make? 10? 12? How many were truly classic? 3.

Three out of 12. Better than some, but not really impressive.
(I'm referring to Rubber soul, The white album and Sgt. Peppers, obviously)

Well, he probably realised is quasi-depressing songs were going out of fashion and he topped himself.

Best thing really, 'cause otherwise everyone would know "Love will tear us apart" as a Paul Young song...

Uh... those were compilations.

I don't like The Beatles, wait a minute hear me out.

For their time they pushed boundaries but let's not over-state this since they were also very commercial and packaged as such. I am not of their time and their music doesn't really speak to me but I know I am in the minority on that one.

Not in the context of this tangential discussion, they're not.

It would have to be Joy Division, but Bauhaus is better than both.

The reason why is that Joy Division sang the only song I can actually recognise, but Bauhaus sang: "Bela Lugosi's dead", probably one of the best songs ever written.

I wouldn't count them as "albums", per se... or else the best Sonic Youth album is the mix tape I've had in my stereo for the past 10 years.

This is kind of a non-question. Definitely Joy Division.

I just thought they were edgier and taking a few more risks with the music.
