No. Just no. Walk away quietly and no-one will get hurt.

--- Quote from: charlesegabel ---Pornography your least favorite? I mean, I'm personally a huge fan of Pornography and Bloodflowers. Definitely among my favorite records, but how can you like any Cure album less than Wild Mood Swings?

Like he is doing right there. I always think this kind of comment is dumb. 'How can you like my favourite any less than I do?'


--- Quote from: Khar ---This is a pretty insightful question really.

Joy Division, The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees etc. are, just like many other bands less associated with moping and hairspray, post-punk. They're not really goth. Goth was something that was invented by the people inspired by them. They are the prototype, but they aren't the thing itself.

This is something that has always bugged me. Joy Division weren't goth. Their music was icily cool and you could probably picture much-made-up goths playing it, but as guys they were just motley, sweary mancs. Even Ian Curtis was a boozehound. And yet they get knocked into all of that stuff.

Aye, they got ripped off (in a nice way) by goths but no way in hell were JD a goth band.
