UK Q MAGAZINE - April 2019: JOY DIVISION Kate Bush SCRITTI POLITTI David Bowie

In the new Q, we reveal the most influential records of all time. Over the last few months, we’ve been polling our writers and a galaxy of musicians to find out which records would make the cut. As part of the feature, we travel back 40 years with Joy Division as the band’s remaining members tell Dorian Lynskey how they made their masterpiece debut. There are also extensive pieces on Bo Diddley, the man who created rock’n’roll’s very heartbeat, The Velvet Underground & Nico, we meet Green Gartside, the Scritti Politti leader and maker of the classic Cupid & Psyche 85, and we trace the story of So Solid Crew, the South London artists who changed the game with one track. 


Also in the issue, Sylvia Patterson interviews Sigrid and hears how Norway’s finest pop export since A-ha won’t be typecast. Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig tells Niall Doherty about his band’s return, there’s a Fat White
