They're my favorite band. (Besides Black Flag) Anyone else dig 'em?

unknown pleasures will be a desert album of mine for life. they really got me into darker music when i was about 16.

i love JD so much that i have a long-dormant project doing reggae covers of their songs complete with dub remixes...i promised someone years ago that i'd include "No Love Lost" along with "Novelty," "Failures," and either "Dead Souls" or "These Days."

I used to be really really into them. It got so bad that the band I was playing with at the time sounded like a borderline JD cover band.

Should really listen to there stuff again. Anybody ever listen to the stuff they released when they were called Warsaw?

I was totally blown away when I first heard "Unknown Pleasures".
So tight yet they had that nice ambient quality.
Yeah, Black Flag kills also, they both would be in my top 20.

Yeah I really liked that. Especially the shout out to Rudolph Hess on this one:

Amazing band. Unknown Pleasures is a supreme recording.

Found this on youtube. I've almost finished it.

i actually kind of prefer the Warsaw recordings to the JD stuff because of the rawness, though the songwriting is unquestionably better on the JD material.

Could be a lot worse.

Similar experience here

i think a shout to martin hannett is in order. he had a massive role in creating the signature, sparse sound. without his arrangements and recording style, i don't think joy division would have been the same band.
