Unknown pleasures

i dont know any of them
am i missing something?
never really felt like i have to listen to any of their albums..

Yes you really miss out (unless you're not a fan of post-punk - which is in my opinion would be surprising when you like Sonic Youth).

yeah, you're missing out.

unknown pleasures is such a perfect record.. all the songs just sound... right. i can't explain it.

Yes.

to be honest, no. i mean like i really love their music but to say that it is important that your missing something is retarded, because its just music. people think you need to listen to all this "classic" shit and everyone wants everyone else to listen to these albums that they think will change their lives. but they wont. its just music. it doesnt really fucking matter if you ever listen to them at all...

someones cranky

music DOES affect people and ehance people's lives, so he could very well be missing out on something that will make his day better, if nothing else.

anyway, anyone heard jah division - dub will tear us apart?

i agree. but its really not that big of a deal..

yeah i actually like jah division. you can watch live performances of them on punkcast.com

im just sick of you

ever heard of the ignore button?

no, but i like your sig too much. what is it from?

i can answer that quiestion altho its not my sig.
that pic is from a classic jean paul belmondo movie, but i dont knwo the exact title.

but on topic now: ive never been into this sort of music .. guitars and crazy, new wave-ish synth lines..
nahh..
i know their biggest hit (if that is the one) 'love will tear us apart', and this song really irritates me. its good in a certain way, but still, id never listen to it again and again..
i think thats the reason ive never checked out any of their albums.

"Love will tear us apart" is far from their best song in my opinion (I love the lyrics though).

*BUZZER*
WRONG

jean-luc godard's "a bout de souffle" (aka breathless)

Closer for me, although I've not listened to Joy Division in a very long time.

BTW, surely choosing Substance is like choosing Screaming Fields of Sonic Love as your favourite SY album? (As in, it's a compilation, not a "real" album.)

Unknown Pleasures. I love that album so much.

That's why I entitled the thread "favourite record" and not "favourite album". In my opinion Substance includes so many of their best songs it can't be left out of the poll.

Closer...
