I like albums much more than compilations but you are free to put them into your list if you want although i would say Joy Division is definitely an Album Band. Both of their albums set a certain mood and when different songs are thrown in (even if they are all great) disrupt the mood.

agreed...while love will tear us apart is a great song, i really cant imagine it on closer or unknown pleasures.

i do love substance though...atmosphere - one of their best.

also please disregard my early post of best jazz albums. I've got so many more jazz albums since then and although i love all of the albums in that list i think there are other better jazz albums. (Eternal Rhythm, Machine Gun, Point of Departure, and many more)
