Really, aside from the riding on the high hat, I just don't hear it. I hear ska, not gloomy rock. But, is it fair to judge them on taste? If I was to go there, I'd say the Beatles, but people will shoot you for saying stuff like that. :)
I can understand not digging gloomy stuff.

I've been thinking talent and originality.
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.

Just listened and they sound like Joy Division, but with hip hop lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixw_bLVUL34

Challenge: Alright mk, listen to this song (lyrics and all) and tell me you don't like it.

I liked it, but, you know, if you wanna go "melancholy with a little smile", you should go all out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr_MJAOyOeU

I was just kidding with mk, I like New Order. The New Green used to cover this song... it was a blast! Great song:

I don't know that we have a criteria but I was using taste, impact, artistry. It's a pretty personal thing, there's no right/wrong answer. Such is art.
