The Wednesday Canon: New Order/Joy Division

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Much demanded in the write-in votes last week, this - here are the UK hit singles of New Order (Blue Monday remixes have been compressed for purposes of voting, and Joy Div's two hits have been flung in to add choice. I thought of putting in Electronic too, but then I really ought to have included Monaco, and we know where THAT leads.



You get NINE picks across the 27 choices, I can guess where the bulk of them are going to lie but the ordering should be of some intrigue.

(Edit: And "Bizarre Love Triangle" wasn't a hit, amazingly since it's probably the best thing they've ever done)


[Poll #712924]


MEANWHILE the Girls Aloud Canon stands as follows. 1 - No Good Advice. 2 - Biology. 3. The Show. 4. Wuv Machine. 5. Sound Of The Underground. Hurrah for the gurls! And yes I will be doing the unbelievably huge Madonna poll before too long.

I think the reason I don't own any NO is that I keep looking for an album/compilation with both 'True Faith' and 'Regret' on it but can never find one. I will keep Substance in mind though.

There is one - "The Best Of New Order" from about 1994. But don't start with that - the tracklisting is very odd and the early stuff is skimped on.

Doesn't that International compilation, or the recent Singles one wrap the two?

There's a new one which is pretty comprehensive and looks like it's got all the original mixes on. I nearly bought it myself when I saw it, and I still might if it rly does have the originals.

the recent singles is a good bash tho with obv too much from the recent LP
