More festive 50 fun

[Stuart]

I agree Jake, I always found Atmosphere it dirge-like even by their standards, and would never actively choose to listen to it. Though can imagine it as part of a moody film soundtrack. It would have spoiled Unknown Pleasures if it had been on that album.

I always did like Love Will Tear Us Apart though, combination of lyrics and that its daytime play really opened me up to the band, though hearing the Peel Session version for the first time was a revelation, particularly Stephen Morris' alternative performance perfectly captured by the BBC engineers

I often wonder why I differ from the masses over things like cannabis (why are kids still being busted) and the EEC (how can anyone slag Cameron for being patriotic) and also here where "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is voted above all the (brilliant) songs on "Unknown Pleasures" ... Such is life ...
