Entertainment! easily for me. I like Joy Division, but Entertainment! is a favorite of mine.


Now, if it would have come down to Pink Flag vs. Entertainment! this would have been a lot harder. Heck even Chairs Missing vs. Entertainment! would have been rough.

Chairs Missing > Unknown Pleasures > Pink Flag > Closer > Entertainment! imo though, Chairs Missing at the bottom of those five albums is crazy to me

Entertainment! for sure.

I think Unknown Pleasures is good, but I don't quite understand why it has the reputation it does. That said, I'm not particularly familiar with the album as a whole yet; still could listen to it another time or two and see of I "get it".

Entertainment!, on the other hand, I've loved from the first time I heard it. It's rough and energetic, yet tight. One of the better albums out there.

maybe i should mention there is very little separating all of them (except UP). Any of them could easily be #2 at any given time

Man, I wanted to like Entertainment but honestly that is one of the most boring albums I've heard! Joy Division is awesome though.

Switch that around and I couldn't agree more. Jesus Christ, you sad sack butt fuck stains need to take a Prozac and listen to basically anything else.

So you're saying that the pleasures of Joy Division are unknown to you?

GoF is certainly light years better.

With every Trollheart joke you make I feel just a little more alone.
