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 now is as good a time as ever to come out and say that "Run" is my favourite song ever. Technique probably my favourite album too, come to think of it.

Random trivia:
-I used to have quite a Barney fixation back in the mid-'80s. Used to want to copy his haircut, but I never dared to have it cut quite that short.

-I once played Substance (1977-1980, the JD one) to some friends of mine, and when "Atmosphere" came on they asked if it wasn't perhaps playing at the wrong speed..? Pillocks.
(I may have had guilty fun later on playing the album at 45rpm, but i'll deny this if you ever confront me with it)
