Paid Members FLips Posted July 27, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 Joy Division are a one-hit wonder who are only regarded so highly cos the bloke did himself in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 27, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think that's more factual than opinion-based to be honest, Lips. They only had one hit before Ian Curtis died and their second (and only other) hit was 8 years after his death. So yeah, one-hit wonder isn't a push. I really do like their stuff, though.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 27, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 Joy Division were highly regarded before his death. Obviously his death brought more eyes and ears on the band but it wasn't as if Ian Curtis hanging himself took them from nobody having heard of them to massive.

Easy to laugh at something when the joke's not on you though, isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling fans love nothing more than pointing out how bad the product is, then continuing to watch.Ā Dr Who seems to have a special breed of fan that will add non existent layers to paper thin plots and defend the show as a rich tapestry of inter woven storylines, spanning decades.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the joke could well have been on you. Especially if you weren't white. There's an excellent book calledĀ Fairness, Class and Belonging in Contemporary England that I read a while back that has a good case study of this. EDIT - Actually, found it online - from page 136 onwards. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-RFeAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA145&lpg=PA145&dq=bernard+manning+audience&source=bl&ots=PVr4wRucpC&sig=PYiCe5YXlyCCYZGj0wjXyhMfpjA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjMwNjDscDcAhVJa8AKHZB5D2M4ChDoATAIegQIBxAB#v=onepage&q=bernard manning audience&f=false Edited July 27, 2018 by Devon Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
