With Duran Duran leading Joy Division by 1 vote and Schwah being the final voter, I thought we might see our 1st tie... This was also the 1st matchup where we saw a decisive difference between AMF voters and non-AMF voters...

Seems like John, Slick and Schwah were the only AMers voting for Duran Duran.

I'm not a huge Duran Duran fan but I can't stand Joy Division. Joy Division and Tom Waits are the two artists where I'll never understand the acclaim.

Duran Duran are OK,but beating Joy Division? Got to be the most embarrassing moment in the game so far.

I'm not a big Joy Division fan either. I find their name to be somewhat ironic, because their songs appear to have very little joy compared to the songs of New Order.

They were actually named after the "joy divisions" in Nazi Germany, which was an area of the concentration camps where female prisoners were used as sexual objects for the Nazi commanders.

So yeah....not that joyful after all....
