Maybe. Listening to them as a late-teenager in Thatcher's Brum during mushroom soaked night-time sessions is more effective
Saw Joy Division when I was 14 so that sort of put them in my mind early too

I used to really like em in 82-ish. Then went really off em for a couple of decades, then re-heard them a couple of years ago and realised how much the lyrics had woven into my 19-year-old life - "No, I've never had a job, because I've never wanted one"the fucking smiths

I agree with Sonic Youth. I wish I did like them coz they seem pretty damn cool.
I don't get Queen either, just sounds embarrassing to me.
I do like my sludge / doom etc but can't get a handle on Neurosis or Rwake atm. Too much noodling before the hit, the payback? I don't go massively for Mastodon either, though they're leading lights in that sort of thing-ish.

The Smiths. Whiny emo drivel.

Feeding the foxes
Can't believe how much I still play Joy Division.
The Clash are the one band I didn't get at the time, and after trying to get to grips with them, still leaves me cold. Everyone goes on about how good a geezer Joe Strummer was, which I can appeciate, but their music just bland IMO. Sorry.

"Can't believe how much I still play Joy Division".
Same here Griff. Love them even more than i did as a 13 year old when i first "discovered" them.
I don't get Kaiser Chiefs or , oh what were they called, that Scottish band , erm, can't remember what they were called.

It helps being about 12 I think, and usually male, or in your late 40s and not liking anything else any more.
The Jam released some excellent singles and albums. Every time a Jam single was released it was an event. Queues of young boys and me outside virgin records waiting to get our hands on a new release

Last time I truly loved the Jam's music was when I was about 12 / 13. And yes - it was mainly boys who rushed out to buy their stuff on the day it came out.
I was happy to tape it off the radio.
when I went back to it as an adult I realised I didn't like it any more.
