cold is the only word i can use to describe joy divisions music. its cold & uninviting. everything is so similar. their style is great when it was updated & built upon by its peers.
ps. lour reed is/was a pompus arse. though, i won't let it get in the way of his musical legacy. which, for the msot part, should given to john cale anway. i like the cale vu albums, and cale solo albums more than the lou stuff.
