Joy Division were ace. "Love will tear us apart" is one of the greatest songs ever. Only liking one type of music is akin to only liking one type of food. How boring life would be without variety. Many "leaders" from religious, political and economic fields have tried to impose their own personal idiosyncracies and preferences upon their subjects thus the closed group-think, paralysis conformity of many sects. There was a certain brilliant anarchism to much of the early eighties British music.

My favorite Joy Divison was "She's Lost Control". I especially enjoyed early 80's punk before punk diverged into either hardcore (Minor Threat, Flipper)and what was then called new romantic or blitz (early Duran Duran, Theatre of Hate). I used to live in Philly and would hang out in clubs and see all these bands.
