I don't think he said that was their name.
As for Joyce, that has been posted previously.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I would agree with youthat Atmosphere and Disorder are their best. Ceremony IS a great song though.
Are they overrated? Well they are certainly a band that people like to name drop (I'm looking at you radiohead), and they do have an obsessive fanbase, but that doesn't change the fact that they have written some great songs...

Disorder holds a special place in my heart. Once I was driving home from a friend's place at 1 in the morning, and there was a big power outage in the side of the city where I was driving earlier, so all the traffic lights were out of order and flashing, and some of the street lights were off and the visibility was poor. So Disorder's playing on the CD player, it's really dark out, and lights are constantly flashing on and off. It was absolutely perfect.

Here's mine:
It's "They Only Come Out at Night" by Edgar Winter. I don't want to know who thought it would be a good idea, to take a picture of a topless albino man with flowing long hair, women's jewelery and red lip stick. I
would be down-right embarrassed, if I had this album at home and someone somehow stumbled upon it.
I imagine the conversation would go like this:
Friend: Wha-what the?!? What the hell is this thing?
Me: Oh it's just a rock album by Edgar Winter, don't you like rock too?
Friend: That's not what I see I see a male albino transvestite, I don't care how good the music is on here there is no way that can be used to justify how creepy this picture is. Do you have some kind of fetish or
something?
Me: Honestly man there's nothing wrong with me, it just a rock album chill.
Friend: I think I'm going to be sick. See you later.
Me: Wait why are you leaving so early?
Friend: Sorry got to go, bye. (rushes out the door)
Me: bye? (turns on Pink Floyd's "Don't Leave Me Now")
Your friends sound homophobic or just dumb...
It was a joke that didn't actually happen, the friends I do have are really good (with a few exceptions of course). I guess my humour was a little lackluster in that post.

Those kind of experiences can certainly etch a song into your soul.
Had a similar experience in a massive thunderstorm sitting in a car listening to Disintegration album.
I have to put that album on any time I am in a big storm now.
Well... Web searches have proved humourous... but what of albums you actually own?

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
