I like Interpol, don't like The Dears. Imonlydancing, you should listen to "Specialist" if you haven't heard it already. Its their best song by far.

1. I've never said Interpol sounded like Joy Division ripoffs. In fact, in another thread I said, "And Interpol are a good band, and really don't sound all that much like Joy Division (as anyone who's heard more than "Love Will Tear Us Apart" will tell you)." The whole Interpol = Joy Division thing was just the byproduct of lazy journalists.

2. If you've read anything I've said about the NME, you'd know that I think that the NME occasionally hypes good bands, but that for the most part they hype boring, derivative, flash-in-the-pan shit. Interpol are band that are universally liked, no one but the British Press likes 90% of the bands they hype.

well, i could have used your help a few months ago in the interpol thread, personally, aside from the dark tone of the music, i never found interpol to be all that similar to joy division, but stu disagrees with me on that one...and yes, i have to agree that i'm getting a bit annoyed by the nme, especially after seeing that "the esential bands of 2005" cd.....i mean honestly, they do try a bit too hard to force their opinion on what's hot and what's not....

That shouldn't influence if you like them or not. You should like bands you like because you like them not because of the other fans or what is said about them.
