First off, i became familiar with The Doors through my mates older brothers and sisters record collections whereas Joy Division were a discovery of my own and as such mean far more to me.
Secondly, I prefer Curtis's dark paranoia over Morrison's angst. Despite Morrison's poetic aspirations it's Curtis's lyrics that i find the most affecting. Similarly, despite their limitations as musicians i prefer the Joy Division' sound ' ( see below too )
Hannett's unique production on the Joy Division records add a dimension that the Doors LP's lack.
Er, and i think Ray M's a bit of a knob !
IMO of course !!!
Perhaps i find it easier to relate to a depressed Englishman than to a drunken Californian ;-)
I am a sober caifornian and I agree with you!
