I like Nirvana, but Joy Division will easily take my vote. Also, did you morph into StaaViinZ over night?

I was part of the crowd that embraced Nirvana and most other acts from the 'grunge' scene, yet when I hear most of these today, I get a bad taste in my mouth. I remember the shows from back then though: 'I am angry and don't wash my hair, so why don't you leave that tub alone and get feisty with me while we jump into one another until one of us bleeds and we completely forget to listen to the actual music' Joy Division on the other hand is a band I can always listen to.

Maybe it's a question of generation (but I'm not sure: my brothers would vote for Joy Division, and they are barely two years younger than me), but I vote for Nirvana: I can't stand the vocal style of Ian Curtis and their songwriting quickly bores me. Not that I consider Nirvana perfect on the songwriting, but I can deal more easily with Cobain's crossover of punk, pop and metal influences. |

What a silly comparison. It's by far Joy Division that I listen the most to out of the two, however.

Yeah, I know Joy Division is supposed to be very important but for my tastes, Nirvana works better. I want those riffs, man!

| I've listened to both many times, and I think Nirvana is overrated and quite bad, and I think Joy Division is decent but extremely boring. So I guess Joy Division. |

Hmm....I think both bands are a bit overrated but I did enjoy Joy Division in the old days and while Cobain wrote a few decent power grunge songs a lot of their music just isn't that interesting to me.
So, Joy Division.

Nirvana, but both are terrible. Joy Division is one of those things where I have to think that either I'm an alien, or the people who like that band are. |

Terrible = music that people with unhealthy mindsets enjoy. Surely you can see why I'd say that about the bands of Ian Curtis and Kurt Cobain. That's an exaggeration though. I get the appeal of Joy Division. |

Joy Division by an inconceivably huge margin. Nirvana is easily one of the most overhyped rock bands! |

Not at all comparable. It's like choosing between the number 7 and the colour green. Wich tastes better? |
