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.

Blue Monday is one of those records I keep getting bored of and then hearing it again randomly somewhere and falling for over again.

temptation will NEVER grow old it just DOES ME IN every time i am dancing to it. this is the song they should be known for more than BLue Monday - which is still GREAT and ICONic and stuff but it's just falls a little flat/dull on my ears (yes from over playing i guess) from time to time, lacking the energy that Temptation keeps on giving back

I agree. Even if I have played it out too many times over the years myself.
