[kj] OT - "UK Music Hall of Fame" : No Joy Division, N.O., or John Peel????

[Christof hamille]

I had a friend who drove them around also for a few of their shows here in 
MI (he worked for the promoter/venue and had to shuttle around bands all the 
time).  I am guessing late 80s early 90s.  Basically he said if you were to 
think of a stereotypical, miserable, English person it would be everyone in 
New Order.  But Modern English bested them in 1990 (whenever they tried to, 
pathetically, revive their career).  They thought the world shoudl have 
worshiped the ground they walk on.  BUT. The Rolling Stones I guess continue 
to still be, genuinely, nice chaps
