Re: Battle of the Mancs
Joy Division any day, the first time I heard them I felt the hairs on my arms stand up and every time I hear Atmosphere it still happens.
The tour they supported the Buzzcocks was the first time I saw a crowd dwindle before the headline. (the second was when Jane's Addiction supported The Wonderstuff but that's another story for another day.)
They inspired so many bands and even when New Order went d*sco they were still good. How many bands can say that?
Thank you John Peel for introducing me to these, and so many other bands I would never have heard otherwise, R.I.P.
