Editors.

Bright Lights was great, but if you consider Interpol's body of work as a whole they've really gone downhill with each album. Editors have released consistently good music, even if AEHAS is a bit ballad-heavy. Plus they're great live. I've seen them five times.

I love Interpol, their songs are so passionate and probably would enjoy it more if I was younger. Artsy, dark yet vibrant.

They sound a lot like Joy Division maybe that's why I like them and prefer them over the Editors. Editors remind me of the soulsy side of Coldplay but I like the song "Munich"

Thats a rest hold. And not a particularly good one, if you're going to use pictures of wrestling holds, dont use ones of Goldberg.

More familiar with Editors .Got both albums.Never got into Interpol depsite repeatedly trying to find time to fit them in.

Is 'Push Your Head Towards The Air' the latest single off End Has A Start by Editors ? Best track of the album for me:nod:

At the moment i would go for Interpol as Editors is turning a bit to much into ChrisMartinColpdplaymodus these days.

Although Racing Rats and Weight of the World are great tracks...

But for the moment it's Interpol

I think 'Racing Rats' is the latest single of the album. Maybe 'push your head...' is becoming the next single?

Though I really wish there was a TIE! button because I love the Editors' first album [thanks for sendin' me that, banshee! :thumb:] and I haven't stopped listening to it at all since I got it [in the mail on Saturday].

:shrug:

:thumb: glad it got there at last

I've been listening to the Editors more lately and somewhere along the line the music finally clicked. I take back what I've said in the past, An End Has a Start is a brillant album. Bright lights is still better, but AEHAS is really close behind...

Interpol. Both live and on record.

Live, Editors have done some cracking gigs. But none tjhat I've seen have been as good as the best Interpol ones I saw in Zurich, Munich and Berlin. And watching Interpol is just funnier.

On record, Interpol have Evil, Obstacle 1, No I In Threesome, Roland, Narc, Take You On A Cruise, Pioneer to the Falls, Leif Erikson, Untitled, Slow Hands, Untitled, PDA, Stella, NYC, C'Mere, Specialist, Say Hello To The Angels, etc etc. Editors dont have as many great songs.

And everytime I've met Interpol they've always been dead nice to me.

Have you been listening to Iron Sheik interviews? That man is a legend. He's going to bum rape Hulk Hogan apparently. Search You Tube "Iron Shiekh shoot". Hours of fun to be had.

Speaking of Hogan. Last week I saw the Nick Hogan sentencing. Hulk got up in court with his bandana on, unbuttoned shirt and a big gold chain and spoke about the case. It was so great I could have wept. And then Brooke got up in a little short skirt. And again, I could have wept with joy.

Nick only got eight months. Proof that after all these years, Hogan still Knows Best. :nod:

Back to the point.

This sums up the problem with most of this board. People go around saying "I love Joy Division" and when someone comes along they go "They sound too much like Joy Division, they're shit."

This is the equivalent of the time I asked my little brothers friend "Do you like Spanish Omelette" and he said "No, I've never had it." Only he was seven years old.

was limited to 500 copies of each version in the uk. they were going for 80 notes on ebay!

off to see their warm up for glasters gig in june in a pub in frome, should be a cracker.

not sure if i've voted on this but will go with editors for the simple reason that interpol are in decline & i like editors more live.

(& of course bowman is bigging up her boyfriends band)
