what?? why? come on now. I know it's got heart and soul but still shadowplay and she's lost control PLUS new dawn fades... no contest.

New Dawn Fades does have one of the most moving riffs ever put to tape tho

Unknown Pleasures is just more popular because it makes a good shirt.

i'd actually prefer to have a closer shirt, if nothing else because "everyone & their grandma" wears the u.p. thing to anything even remotely "goth" or "post-punk" related
my favorite release from 'em in general might be substance tho :x |

Closer is like their biggest and best all around artistic achievement taken as a whole
While Unknown Pleasures is like half composed of their best songs and then half composed of filler I never listen to |

Wilderness even? Candidate? Day of our Lords?
Obviously I worship JD but those are pretty meh songs imo I never have a desire to listen to them. Where as She's Lost Control, Insight, New Dawn Fades, and Shadowplay are better than most of Closer probably |

I just find the whole album experience is more fleshed out with Closer while Unknown Pleasures gets the better artwork and singles

Day of the Lords is one of the best songs on UP, aside from the obvious

I think UP is more popular because (serious reasons):
* It's more guitar based, so it's more grounded in a basic rock band foundation. * It was released while the band was active, and while Ian Curtis was alive. At the time, people would be familiar with the songs while the band and Ian could perform them live and discuss them. It still seemed that the band "had a future" * The album cover is iconic, one of the most iconic album covers ever, in fact. Closer's album cover doesn't lend itself to the same kind of cultural exposure. Or T-shirts. |

I like Closer more because it gets even darker and atmospheric than UP. It also has Twenty Four Hours. I always get chills down my spine when I hear "Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way. Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away".
