Killing Joke are an English rock band from Notting Hill, London, England, formed in 1978 by Jaz Coleman (vocals, keyboards), Paul Ferguson (drums), Geordie Walker (guitar) and Youth (bass).

Lead singer Jaz Coleman said their manifesto at the time was to "define the exquisite beauty of the atomic age in terms of style, sound and form". Coleman gave an explanation concerning their name: "The killing joke is like when people watch something like Monty Python on the television and laugh, when really they're laughing at themselves. It's like a soldier in the first world war. He's in the trench, he knows his life is gone and that within the next ten minutes he's gonna be dead ... and then suddenly he realises that some c**t back in Westminster's got him sussed - 'What am I doing this for? I don't want to kill anyone, I'm just being controlled'."

4. Love Like Blood

this song is so hauntingly beautiful to me. I've loved it forever. Saw Killing Joke once in the 80s.
