I love them both but I vote Joy Division. They seem more unique and original (although Talking Heads is certainly both of those things as well).

I'm trying to figure this out. Joy Division are a great band, as are Talking Heads but to say that JD have contributed more to music needs some evidence.

Sorry, I am writing this while marking year 12 theatre reviews. Needs more depth!

As cult-heroes, yes, JD are up the top. But mention the name Joy Division to many people and play a song of theirs, you would not really get a response from the general public (taking this idea from thinking of some of my students, parents, wife and other friends). But if I mention Talking Heads (wife talks about them in her Rock History unit at school) and play a song of theirs, most people would affiliate with the band.

Also, what mark would each of these bands leave on the history of music? Would they be a dot on the timeline or a larger expanse of time?

Anyway, back to marking.

Or, y'know, lose to a really deserving band like The Fall.

Voted Talking Heads. Very little in it. Unknown Pleasures is in my Top 100, but I've recently been considering taking it out. I highly doubt any Talking Heads record will ever be in my Top 100 (I tend to think most of their albums are pretty inconsistent, though there aren't any I can think of from their first 7 or 8 years that I don't at least enjoy), but there are more Talking Heads songs I love than there are Joy Division songs. And, as has already been noted, Joy Division win everything here. Much prefer The Fall to either band; pity they won't be facing them.

Stiff competition, but I gotta lean towards Talking Heads.

This confirms my vote but it is hypnotic.

And in regard to CellarDoor's choice (awesome btw), they did do a song called Drugs on Fear Of Music that I thought was JD in style at times. However both band existed at the same time so maybe JD took some inspiration from TH?

That opinion is at variance with mine. Joy Division are not half the band the Talking Heads are, IMO.

This is NOT a tough choice for me at all. If it wasn't for a band called Wire, I'd choose Talking Heads to win it all. They are truly an amazing band.

I understand how this would be a tough decision for a lot of people on here. I mean 2 bands in basically the top 40 on BEA? That is a a high ranked matchup.

It's looking like a super super tight competition.
