Nah, I've tried all Joy Division's albums, always seems like Ian Curtis is trying to suck the life out of the rest of the music. Kind of ironic, because I love JAMC and most other banRAB that spawned in their wake.
I forgot about Nick Cave. I don't have much patience for him, I admit I enjoyed the last Grinderman but apart from that there might be one or two songs of his that intrigue me. Not to mention Talking HeaRAB. Like you I grew up on 'em, my father was a huge David Byrne fan for some reason or another but I just can't get past his characteristic whine.
