i have no idea why killing joke are as relatively underrated as they are
the 1980 s/t, night time and what's this for are as good as anything that pil or the fall or the sisters of mercy or the cure ever put out and yet killing joke don't seem to be nearly as revered as any of those bands

Hey OP you ever listened to the best 80s album?

Sonic youth bad moon rising and evol
butthole surfers psychic powerless another man's sac

Killing Joke were embarrassingly inconsistent. First 2 albums are incredible. Nighttime is great. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns (which got the most promotion) suuuuuuuuuucked.

Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions was such a great album.

So, yeah. Killing Joke= 4 iconic albums, S/T, WTF, EDAVRE, Nighttime. A few good albums (Pandemonium, Fire Dances) and some really shitty (or at the very least inconsistent) albums.

If you ever wonder why Killing Joke never made it big in the 80's listen to Brighter Than 100 Suns for as long as you can stand to.

This thread has made me depressed that I'm never going to get to be a college radio DJ in the 80s.

Rebel Yell is legit one of the best pop albums of the 80s.
Fucking Duran Duran have received their critical reappraisal, so I don't see why Billy Idol hasn't received his yet.

So many good artists. It's too bad 80s nostalgia shit like those VH1 "Best of 1987" or whatever specials only covers plebian stuff like Madonna and GNR.

Props on posting this. Wire's 80s output is unbelievably underrated.

I dunno, pretty much all of the people I know who are into PIL and The Fall are also familiar with KJ.
The Sisters Of Mercy and The Cure eventually became huge arena-filling pop bands, so it makes sense a lot of their audience wouldn't be familiar with these sorts of more underground bands.

I will never not defend Brighter Than A Thousand Suns desu.
That album was ruined when the band's record label brought in a second producer to remix and soften the record up against the band's wishes. The original mix of the album is still obviously not as good as Night Time, but it makes a lot more sense than the remixed version which was initially released in 1986.
