Joy Division

There is no losers here only winners either way

 

[Bluesince1979]

Am i allowed to say both. 2 very different bands and i love and loath songs by both.

both have truly world class songs

 

[Metalartin]

The way I look at it is, Joy Division influenced many bands of the early 80s, New Order influenced quite bit more than that with their involvement with the hacienda and the whole Madchester movement. I still prefer to listen to Joy Division personally though.

Interview with Peter Hook from May, talking about Joy Division and more:

Peter Hook on 40 Years Without Joy Division's Ian Curtis: "I Wish We Had Done More"

On Joy Division, New Order, Gorillaz, and keeping the party going.

I didn't know he was friends with Damon Albarn, even during the Oasis "battle", which I thought was silly at the time. Also didn't know he'd done a collab with Gorillaz earlier this year, but I'd have recognised those baselines.

The Song for me that connects the two is Age of Consent, so Joy Division and yet New Order.

Always thought Ultraviolence from Power was a very Joy Division sounding song.

 

[brooklandsblue2.0]

Joy division. Next.

That was Hot Chocolate I think.














Everyone’s a winner babe, that’s no lie.

I was told on the Eddie Van Halen thread that I was very droll. So very droll. But I appreciate a good piss take.

Great track.

 

[Hollywood Blue]

I love them both, just love JD substantially more.

 

[Northernstorirs]

Only recently properly got in to both bands. Of course I've heard "love will tear us apart" and "blue Monday" millions of times but decided give a few albums a go.

Absolutely love "temptation", probably my favourite NO track. Atmosphere would have to be my faveour JD track.

Can't go wrong either way

 

[Bill Walker]

Best band ever.

 

[PistonBlue]

Impossible to choose one over the other. Both brilliant.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Both, but only up until 1987. New Order went progressively from being the best band in the world to an embarrassing shell of themselves after that. That new single is appalling, like a novelty record.

 

[Gazza]

I have both of Joy Division’s albums but I seem to prefer more tracks of theirs that weren’t on either album:
Digital
Transmission
Atmosphere
Love Will Tear Us Apart
etc.

What’s the deal with those tracks, were they just singles and B-sides? Or is there another album I just don’t know about with them on?

Bands used to do this in the 'old days' to encourage fans to buy the singles knowing that they wouldn't get them again on the album.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Joy Division and New Order famously through Factory records never put singles on the Albums. Hence the Substance compilations. New Order only started releasing singles from the Technique album onwards

Technique is a great album. I agree after that they went a bit downhill but still with plenty of moments of inspiration
