I've always found Joy Division so boring ass. It was hard for me to get through Unknown Pleasures without pressing the stop button. Entertainment! is miles better. Enjoyed that one all the way through.

I prefer Closer to Unknown Pleasures.

Another vote for Entertainment!

Unknown Pleasures is a far more important album than the GOF album. Closer is one of the best albums of all-time.

I like Unknown Pleasures a lot and enjoy the production on it more than Entertainment! but as an album I like Entertainment! more. It just has such great energy, and "Ether" is one of my favorite album openers ever.

I bet Ian Curtis is having a seizure in his grave over the results of this poll.

Oh man, I laughed...but is that out of taste? Part of me thinks that's out of taste.

Anyway, it really depends on the day. When I'm in the mood, not much beats Unknown Pleasures but more often than not I go for Entertainment!. It's just such an incredible record, from the lyrics, to the instrumentation, to the execution. I would say it's practically a flawless record. (to its credit though, so is UP) Another vote for GoF.

I wonder what would be winning had I thrown a Wire album (Pink Flag or Chair's Missing) into the mix?

I'd have voted Pink Flag if it were in the mix.
