They seem to be more popular in the UK, and we have lots of fine English folk on these boards. I just bought 3 of their CD's off Amazon with a gift card I got for Xmas. Here's a few favorite tracks:

I came in here thinking it was a discussion of Alan Moore's Batman graphic novel. :lol:

Previously, all "the killing joke" meant to me was that Python sketch - I had never really heard this band's work before here in the USA. Checked out the two videos and I am finding that I dig these guys, so I am going to have to seek out more. Thanks for hipping me to this group's pieces, Purge!

I don't swear often, but their "Killing Joke" album (2003) is f***cking amazing! If you like harder stuff and metal, get it! (They had quite a famous drummer for that album!)

Do youself a favour, turn your volume up... and absorb this...

These guys rock! Here's one of my faves.
(wasn't 'love like blood' a hit in the states in the 80ies? It was over here...)

Seeing them a week from Saturday, and driving to the gig in my new sliver Ford Mustang. Life and God are good.

Great show. Jaz said he hoped it would help the city in the healing process. Long live the Joke!

Personally I love the album "Nightime", favourite track would be "Love like Blood", what a groove. If you listen to the track "Eighties" from the same album and then "Come as you are" by Nirvana you can hear why there was a legal case.
