1. Joy Division: Closer. I have this on vinyl, and I recently got it digitally. Oh so great sad homo music.
2. Jawbreaker: Unfun. A formative punk album of my youth that just keeps getting better.
3. The Unicorns: Who Will Cut Our Hair When We Are Gone. Stupidly dorky fun.
4. Courtney Love: America's Sweetheart. I love that coked-up bitch.
5. Toy Dolls: A Far Out Disc. 80's comic punk, and still funny (and fun to dance to).

I've been enjoying Closer myself lately. It's amazing how much of the stuff I listen to these days is derivative of Joy Division. Definitely agree with your selection. Never even heard of any of the others though. Guess that shows the limited depth of my musical lexicon.
You really never heard The Unicorns? Have either of you heard Islands, which was the next incarnation of The Unicorns? They only had one album, "Return to the Sea," which I found as good as, if not better than, The Unicorns album.
I've certainly heard of Jawbreaker, but never listened to them. Isn't that the same dude from Jets to Brazil?
Jawbreaker was Blake Schwarzenbach's band before Jets to Brazil. I have heard Islands; prefer The Unicorns.
