have to admit i aint heard that many of interpol.the ones i have heard were fairly good though. but love editors,great live band too. so voted for them
I'm basing my vote simply on Bright Lights, which wipes the floor with the Editors.... however Interpol have turned poppy so everything went downhill after Bright lights....
INTERPOL defo,but to give Editors their due,AN END HAS A START is more consistantly good than Interpol's last album.
Interpol. Mainly for having the most consistently amusing bass player in the history of music.

His name is Carlos Dengler and is half German and half Colombian. I Heard his mother is from a city called Cali.. here in my Country.
-He recently wrote, produced, and scored a short film called Golgotha, directed by his friend Daniel Ryan. -In the past, Carlos pursued disc jockeying. He would spin 80s/New Wave music but also threw more obscure and contemporary tunes into the mix.
-Carlos has also remixed songs for B-side releases including VHS or Beta's "Night on Fire", "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" by Nine Inch Nails alongside Sam Fog (which is bandmate Samuel Fogarino) and Interpol's own "Public Pervert".
-Carlos plays a black standard Fender Jazz Bass (which was used on Antics and Turn on the Bright Lights) with the knobs removed (Antics era and beyond) and does not use any effects pedals.
-He contributed the song "Katya and Josh Ain't Havin' It" to the HBO Voyeur Project.
If you'd asked me this last year, I would have said Editors. But now it's definitely Interpol.
Haven't really listened to either much, but I shall make it a priority for my time off to investigate...

Interpol.
Editors first album is a gem but the guitar sound on An End Has A Start is beginning to get on my tits a bit.
Isn't this like asking: "What would you rather have: a red hot poker up yer arse or a red hot knitting needle down yer japs-eye*"????????
* - apologies to Cozzie in advance.
Right, bought the first Editors and Interpol albums this afternoon... Have listened to The Back Room - better overall than the tracks I'd heard before... Based on the first track of the Interpol album, think I'll like the more, but I guess from what folks have said I'll near to hear the newer stuff as well...

You have got much idea about writing in spanish?? i'd like to know.
i don't think so!!:bag:
In a straight toe-to-toe? Editors, easily, just cos they're Engerlish. You seen their lead singer dance? Can just imagine him windmilling through the centre of a ruck.
Musically, Interpol. They've at least got a couple of tracks I think of as classics. Don't feel the same about Editors. They always struck me as music for stowdents.

Eh, food-fight is it?
Our pasties can have your cheeseburgers any day of the week! 
I'm voting Interpol mostly because I've heard "Turn on the Bright Lights" a helluva lot more than the Editors' stuff. Though I really wish there was a TIE! button because I love the Editors' first album [thanks for sendin' me that, banshee! 
] and I haven't stopped listening to it at all since I got it [in the mail on Saturday].
