'Closer', the fuch you soung, was practically his first mainstream song that got played on every radio station, MTV and nightclub of the time. Take a listen to the album Pretty Hate Machine, that was his first.
The song 'Closer' is definately my least favorite, as that's the song EVERYBODY knows, and it's the song that made every kid start listening to his music, when all along there was much better work out there. Hell, 'Hurt' was on 'The Downward Spiral' album with 'Closer'.

OK, yeah...so I judged his entire body of work on one song. You couldn't go three minutes back then without hearing it on the radio...massive over-exposure.
I'll pickup a copy of Pretty Hate Machine and give it an objective listening.
