Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (Factory, 1979)

On Wednesday's I post an All-Time Album. Today's album marks the 20th post in this series.

I wanted this one to matter, so I am choosing Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division both because of it's importance in my life and because it is a great album.

Echo And The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (1984, Sire)

This week, the All-Time album is "Ocean Rain" by Echo and the Bunnymen. "Ocean Rain" is the 19th in my All-Time Album series (a new album is profiled every Wednesday).

I put this particular album off for a long time because it has been a very big part of my life for over three decades now. As always, I hope that I do it justice. Enjoy!
