Disorder is my favorite song by them, and has always been.

I mean, really, it's their only song like that. It was perfect. It was bare, no keyboards, no unneeded instruments, just a alarm-like guitar and awesome bassline, with Curtis' voice at it's best. It's just an awesome song, period.
tetsuotheironboy:
can't say i'm a huge fan but of the more well known tracks, 'atmosphere' and 'she's lost control' are excellent songs. His voice grates a little bit but thats just a matter of taste, as songwriters and in terms of their musical influence, nuff respect to joy division :) I would include love will tear us apart but due to my pathetically low tolerance for overplayed music i can't listen to that tune anymore. Also in the film series 7: the contenders, its used by two high school art students as the soundtrack to an incredibly gothy film featuring lots of running down corridors into mirrors and frilly clothing. Now i can't listen to it without picturing that and laughing. *prays for forgiveness from mr curtis*
Not An Addict:
Both bands are insanely overrated. JD are too mopey for my taste, plus there's the fact that anyone who drops their name is automatically hipper than everyone else in the room. New Order were far less pretentious, but their songs are really hit-or-miss. "Blue Monday" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" are nothing short of genius, but everything else? I swear, every time I hear "Confusion" I lose a brain cell.
Merkava:
If anything, I feel New Order was the more pretentious band. There was just something about them...
Anyway, I'm listening to Unknown Pleasures again. Yeah, I think it wins over Closer.
