Inscrutable

I'm trying (and mostly failing so far) to work out why I like New Order for the review of their reissues I'm writing.

What are the bands you love but find hard to write about? (Or, if yr not a writer, love without being able to articulate why?).

I like New Order because True Faith was one of those slightly seminal musical moments for me when I heard it in my parents' car as a child. And 'Regret' is a choon. They're very good at that sort of 'emo without transcending the bounds of acceptable levels of angst to have in public,' much like the Pet Shop Boys only NO are less dignified than PSB.

I find it very hard to write about a lot of groups I like that are "classic." I always get neurotic about not knowing enough to avoid saying something offensively innaccurate. (these bands range from of Montreal to The Offspring, despite both of those being some of my absolute favourite bands)
