Insight or Interzone for me. I'll go with Insight, what a moving track. This is a tough one as all the tracks are great. ;)
Unknown Pleasures is much stronger as a whole album than the sum of its parts. Each song stands out for its own reason, including the haunting, eerie chords of my least favorite JD song "I Remember Nothing".
"Candidate" and "Wilderness" get my nod for most underated songs, and I'm leaning to vote fro either of these two.
"New Dawn Fades" is actually a surprise for me. Another classic.
"directionless so plain to see, a loaded gun won't set you free"
NDF
The emotion in this is unbelieveable, and the lyrics are hauntingly beautiful, as a teenager many nights were spent listening to Joy Division as I fell asleep.
Hmmmm...I never really saw al the hoopla over NDF. I mean don't get me wrong, NDF is a great song, but it's a bit over-rated me thinks.
This was a tough call for me though, even when I'm "F*cked up" as Sophie so eloquently put it earlier, I still prefer the likes of:
"Shadowplay" - Very strong tune, makes me wanna go beat up a lightpost or something...plus it's got those really deep lyrics for those quiet nights.
"Wilderness" - I have been in love with this one lately, kinda rediscovered it. I think it is up there with JD's most underrated songs.
And Lastly, my vote:
"Interzone" - Like I said in the Warsaw thread by Slippy,
makes me wanna rape a cat or something stoopid like that!!
