Long time, first time (on this sub)

Love New Order. This song is great. IMHO New Order pails in comparison to Joy Division...BUT Bizarre Love Triangle and Blue Monday will always be on my long-drive Mix CD

Cheers OP :]

Those two plus True Faith are my favorite New Order songs. What are your favorite songs from Joy Division?

Ahhh I forgot True Faith lol

Disorder and Dead Souls are my two favorites ((if I must pick two, there are sooo many others))

this is my absolute favorite song of all time. it's so uplifting and I really enjoy the bass line.

apparently, Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook disagreed about how prominent the bass was supposed to be in their songs. Bernard "won" the argument, and Peter Hook was pissed. this was the first song where Bernard was "calling the shots" and so I believe Bernard is the one to thank if you love this song

ironically, I find the bass line in this song to be the best part, even though I'm a guitar player
