This version of Lassie by the Clancys on the Late Late just gets me every time.

If I put my mind to it, I donā€™t think I could post worse shite that that lot @Fitzy.

The only band that mattered from that eraā€¦ Joy DIvision, live in Paris 18 December 1979, Shadowplay

The only Joy Division recording in existence of Ceremony, the song that launched New Orderā€™s career. Live in Birmingham, May 2, 1980, just before Ian Curtis checked out. The sound engineer had the gain turned down on the vocals for the first verse (you can hear the vocals faintly being picked up by a guitar mic) , its pretty impressive when he turns it up for the chorus.

Joy Division? ā€˜The only band that matteredā€™ from that era? Are you high? That slogan is solely reserved for The Clash.

Yes
Possibly the most overrated band in the history of music, and totally irrelevant

:eek:

Heathen!

Fuck sake, youā€™re telling us that one band mattered in that absolute golden age for music ?
You donā€™t half talk shit ,:confused:

They are overrated, but to call them irrelevant is quite silly.

The House of Love were a cracking band and Shine On is a wonderful tune.

And they came long after Joy Division.

The The were excellent too. I could take or leave the Jam.
