From the Portland Mercury Music Issue:

"Joy Division: The best thing that whining, mule-throated Ian Curtis ever did was die early enough for Bernard Sumner to start a good band."

Did you really have to post that.

Call me a snob, but I agree with a lot of the acrid opinions that the fellows spout in that column.

There's that Your Favorite Band Sucks website where they had a much longer diatribe against JD. Quite funny. Couldn't find it when I looked just now. :shrug:

There's a problem with your theory: he said that Barney started a good band. Wouldn't that imply that he's heard New Order? Ergo, wouldn't he realize that Barney's a much worse singer than Ian? :ignore:

Hmmm, maybe he's just somewhat confused. Oh well, atleast he realizes new orders goodness. Although I do agree, how does he not recognize Ian's greatness?

They're being contrary...
