Overrated: Joy Division and The Smiths.
I'll check it out this weekend. I'm excited to be recording some "strings" for our new album tomorrow afternoon! Hope all is well!
Just give it a listen. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PldpBJEn4vQ No one was doing this. No one.
I'm not a fun of gloomy stuff in general. That song in particular reminded me of Lost In The Supermarket (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVcM79U46z8&feature=fvwre...), by The Clash, which is from the same year as Unknown Pleasures. So no one? Maybe, but I think this requires further research.
"I wasn't born so much as I fell out" -What a great lyric. The Clash and Joe Strummer in particular are amazing.
I can understand not digging gloomy stuff.
Kate Bush is probably underrated in my book too. I might say James too. That guy has some talent. If you're not a fan of Joy Division, give She Wants Revenge a listen. Any appreciation at all for that band is misplaced, IMO. :) Oh, Oh, Belle and Sebastian! Totally overrated! This is fun.
