What the fuck do they know? I don't consider Joy Division or the J&MC goths either, for what it's worth.

See, that last post is where I just start laughing at you.

joy division are the precursors to minimal house, everyone knows that

i bet steely dan has the highest percentage of fans who used to loath them of any band.

How long will the new Alex'n'Nate comedy team last?

Never loathed them, just considered them a guilty pleasure. Have since dropped the guilty part.

Funnily enough, I've been laughing at you since before I can remember.
Joy Division aren't goths. Inspiration to the Goths? Sure. But to call Joy Division goths does them a profound disservice.

Alex has forgotten all of us, Rock Hardy. Maybe he should have revived the Alzheimer's thread last week.

Killing Joke hardly needs my defending in this case. Yes, Jaz looks like shit these days (tho' so does Scott Seward, I'd wager), but their music takes a planet-engulfing dump on Steely Dan's weedy, jazzbo piffle every day of the apocalypse.

i like killing joke tbh (i bought their first record at a store a few years ago and the guy loled and said, "i've been waiting for that one to move every since i opened the store...four years ago") but i think the comparison between their impish goth new wave punk thing and steely dan's carefully constructed, literate hard rock is a little weird?

planet-engulfing dump

Said it once & I'll assuredly say it again: FUCK Steely Dan.
― Alex in NYC, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 04:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Steely Dan is almost perfect but that is for another thread.

went into this thread wishing i'd been around to vote for killing joke...

jazz-rock beats goth every time.

not every time.

there are absolutely no circumstances in which steely dan are preferable to killing joke.

i can totally understand this POV if you're into goth
― omar little, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 17:38 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm into goth and the answer to this is still Steely Dan

i think "the royal scam" is the most goth steely dan album
