chester copperpot Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 New Order are pretty decent. That's all I've gotta say on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julio Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Joy Division are better (sorry, were) Curtis was amazing Dexter that there is no doubt. An inspiration to many. However, from the ashes of JD New Order rose like a phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wibble Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 New Order - no better than the Pet Shop Boys and that is NOT meant as a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julio Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 New Order - no better than the Pet Shop Boys and that is NOT meant as a compliment. Stick to Kylie and INXS MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Dassler Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 You could argue all day about who was the greatest band ever and it's quite clearly down to personal taste. But i will say that without a doubt Joy Dvision/New Order are my personal favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigolo-Aunt Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Joy Division are a great band. Soaked up the influence of some great American/British music and came out with something unique. New Order produced some pioneering (sp) albums in the 80's. The influence they had over the cross over to dance music is something that will never been forgotten. However, IMO Tony Wilson was right - when New Order left Factory and got all the things they wanted (money etc) they would become boring. I think he was not far away with that one. Started to play 5 a side football when they signed for London. Just going over the same old ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Martin Hannett. Yup. Not the easiest of chaps to work with though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Dassler Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yup. Not the easiest of chaps to work with though! Unique might be the word. Have you read "Who killed Martin Hannett" by Colin Sharpe? Very good read and a different slant on the relationships between the key Factory players. Wilson, Erasmus, Gretton, Hannett etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felix Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Peaked with their first single...ok up to Blue Monday then downward spiral thereafter. Think their demise can be traced to Mrs Merton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychocAndy Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 New Order are/were? an entity in themselves. Totally removed from Joy Division. Both great bands both different. Who knows how Joy Division would have turned out had Ian Curtis not killed himself, would they have been that much different, Hooky and Bernard don't think so and they knew the bloke. Me I like both but would say my favourite was....... The Jesus and Marychain :107years: I love this smilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
