Awakening the 80’s child in me
Poker December 1st. 2008, 3:39pmI finally watched the movie Control a couple of weeks ago, and go figure, it sent me on a quest to rediscover Joy Division and New Order.
I consider this to be one of the greatest songs ever written.
But my favorite Joy Division/New Order song is Temptation, by a mile…

One of my favorite bands from that era as well. My collection of their albums are on the list of “Must get back” if I were to ever lose my music collection. Strangely, I’ve listening to a lot of Love & Rockets lately, which usually makes me add in their earlier stuff (Bauhaus) and Peter Murphy’s solo projects.
I miss 120 minutes.

You have good taste in music…..JD/NO is one of the best. The defined the whole genre in so many ways. The Cure was the only band better (of course I HAVE to say that).

Without a doubt one of my favorite bands.
I worked for a college radio station (88.3 WRAS) in Atlanta in the late 90’s. I dedicated a whole show to Joy Division on my last shift.
I was always partial to Transmission by JD and True Faith by New order. Now I’ve got to go you tube for my fix….thanks!
