Hello all.

I'm beginning to take an interest in the odyssey of those guys that began as Joy Division and continued as New Order. I only know a very limited number of songs from each venture, namely "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Atmosphere" from the former and "Blue Monday" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" from the latter.

So...can anyone suggest good songs by them that I should look into?

by **Frau_Blucher** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 1:53 pm

Top 5 each...right now...opinions to change almost immediately...

JD:
1. Transmission
2. Dead Souls
3. Wilderness
4. Shadowplay
5. LWTUA

NO:
1. Regret
2. Dreams Never End
3. True Faith
4. Temptation
5. Turn My Way

Blir has a great list. Let me add:

Joy Division:
Atmosphere
She's Lost Control

New Order
1963
Everything's Gone Green
Your Silent Face

The best song of Joy Division is Love Will Tear Us Apart, then I would place Transmission, She's Lost Control, Digital, Shadowplay, Means To An End (my current favorite), Atmosphere, Glass, Isolation, Warsaw, Days Of The Lords and Ceremony.
If you plan to buy a CD, I would advise the Box Set: Heart & Soul for the simple reason that if U like the band, U are going to buy it anyway.If not Substance would be OK, then Unknown Pleasures then Closer.
This is what I have but I'm planning to add Les Bains Douches, Warsaw,The Complete BBC Recordings and The First Peel Sessions.

Regarding NO, the task of selecting their best song is a bit harder, I would go for Blue Monday, Bizarre Love Triangle, 1963, Temptation, Love Vigilantes, Dreams Never End, Thieves Like Us, Ceremony, True Faith, Round & Round, Regret, State Of The Nation, Perfect Kiss, Shellshock etc
I have quite a few NO CD's for your reference in case U decide to go into the endless task of collecting NO albums.[:D]

You're getting great suggestions above!
Definately don't forget:

JD - Isolation!

I'm going to have to go with the favorites, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Isolation, and Blue Monday.

by **Mechi** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 8:01 am

My favourite JD songs (at this moment.. I change opinions very frequently on this subject) are: LWTUA, Insight, Disorder, Atrocity Exhibition, Isolation (it's the one that best expresses who I am) and A Means to an end ( a legacy so far removed, one day will be improved.. it's so catchy).
My favourite No songs are: Temptation, Blue Monday, The perfect kiss (that's an epical song), Thieves like us, Regret, Round and round, Crystal.

I think that all New Order and Joy Division songs are my favourites... just today I've listened to both bands like three times.
I've listened some The Cure and Talking Heads today to vary...

Mine's still shrinkwrapped. [^]

by **avcool4u** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 9:09 am

Mine's a little worn,
But it has the labels on the wrong sides.
The Beach = Blue Monday and
Blue Monday = The Beach

Does that make it rare?

That record took me forever to find when I first heard it in Tower Records. At the time, none of the people there knew what it was.
