    I never understood the appeal of "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
    .... and I like Peter Saville's "Unknown Pleasures" artwork a lot better than any of Joy Division's music (yet I am a huge fan of the music of New Order)

    Unpopular opinion?

    • just not your cup of tea.
      I like Joy Division a lot but still would rank New Order higher.

    • yeah, that's it - not for my sensibilitiesKrassy
    • it was literally a different time of mood. i wouldnt worry too much about it and enjoy what you like._me_
    • Different, unique, haunting voice, heavy, ultimately tragic. Just something beautifully depressing about it._niko
    • It’s like a really good pungent blue cheese, you might love it but also 100% understand why other people despise it lol_niko
    • @_niko yeah, thanks for the perspective. I'm not worried about it or hating on it...I do enjoy what I likeKrassy
    • I just find it a bit overhyped ;-)Krassy
    • The appeal is the drum beat. And the synth line. And the bass line. And the melody. But hey, New Order are cool too.stoplying
    • ^ stop lying, dudeKrassy

    • I think it has to do with age and time period... older folks like JD more than NO.. NO was changing the game and we were ready for itcanoe
    • Not sure if it's really a fair thing to say overhyped. I mean I don't care for Elvis Presley, does that mean he was overhyped?canoe
    • Love Will Tear Us Apart is total pop, you can sing along to it, and everybody can agree with the ironycanoe
    • ^ fair fairKrassy
