I think I agree, most days at least. Morrissey had a way of saying stuff
I didn't even know I was feeling until I heard him say it. If Ian Curtis had lived I wonder what other stuff Joy Division would have produced.

joy division had barely got off the ground...hard to judge

True enough. Smiths only played (as the Smiths) for five years, though.

true...but a lot of good stuff in that time.

Add Joy Division, New Order, and Electronic together and it's still the Smiths.

This is a pole fail because the results should be 100% to 0 for The Smiths

I saw the Smiths in Oakland for the "Meat is Murder" tour.

Interesting take. Never got to see them live-- wasn't into them

Strageways wasn't their best album but it's great. Girlfriend in a Coma was

I've always thought Girlfriend in a Coma was some brilliant songwriting

I think Johnny Marr's muisicianship trumps all of New Order combined.

Agreed. Hard to overestimate Marr's influence on

YouTube is the best thing that ever happened to Joy Division. Their peak was so

Yeah I think this is a different conversation if Curtis had lived.

I think his closest comparison is Morrissey. New Order = Smiths w/out Morrissey.

Some of L&R's songs were pure gems.
