Joy Division

[Jonathon Livingstone]

I have a CD by 'Revenge' - isn't that some kind of New Order offshoot band?

Revenge were indeed a New Order offshoot band; together with Electronic, The Other Two, and Monaco

 

[Theatre of Trees]

House, rave from 1990. Music to f*** to

Is this the 7" radio edit or 12" extended version?

You don't run it in tandem with Lil Louis French Kiss do you?

 

[Dave the OAP]

If you get a chance, listen to " Waiter there is a yawn in my ear" from manfredd Manns Earth band.

Sublime

 

[El Presidente]

'Closer' is the best album ever. FACT

 

[Brighton TID]

the bass riff at the end of bizarre love triangle -the album version is a touch of genius

 

[graz126]

best joy division track has to be transmission. FACT

 

[Trufflehound]

best joy division track has to be transmission. FACT

Definitely.

And Age of Consent is NO's finest hour.

 

[Grendel]

I prefer The Eternal & Atmosphere. Favourite New Order track is probably 1963.

 

[REDLAND]

Transmission is the best Joy Division song


FACT !!

 

[Weststander]

'Closer' is the best album ever. FACT

[19 years later , I wasn't a nsc'er then] ....

.... I whole heartedly agree. Been listening to it this afternoon, as well as the spellbinding episode 4 of Transmissions:


It's astonishingly beautiful, I cried.

Thank you Ian, Peter, Barney and Steve

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Channel hopping and on VH2 - Love Will Tear Us Apart

Surely one of the greatest songs ever

Disagree. It’s not ONE of the best songs ever, it is THE best song ever.

Incredible band.

 

[Weststander]

Disagree. It’s not ONE of the best songs ever, it is THE best song ever.

Incredible band.

I can't separate it from New Dawn Fades.

 

[schmunk]

Blimey, with this thread bounce I thought the lead singer must of died, or something.

 

[Jim in the West]

Have!!

 

[schmunk]

Have!!

Oh yes, your right he have.

 

[Machiavelli]

I can't separate it from New Dawn Fades.

New Dawn Fades is the best track, probably followed by Atmosphere, but I waver once we fall further down the list.
I also think Unknown Pleasures eclipses Closer, which is way ahead of Still.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

That’s my Friday listened sorted.

Unknown Pleasures is equally special imho.

Atmosphere, Disorder, Decades, Dead Souls, Ceremony, Twenty Four Hours all perfection too.

 

[KZNSeagull]

For a debut album, Unknown Pleasures is only rivalled in greatness by Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons.
Closer is magnificent and is most certainly the best album ever. New Order had their moments but never really reached the same heights.

My Top 5 JD tracks:
Dead Souls
New Dawn Fades
Heart and Soul
A Means to an End
Decades

 

[AIT76]

Atmosphere is untouchable. Honourable mentions for The Only Mistake and Decades.
