    I never really got into them, havent listened to them for ages. Would i be horribly wrong in saying they are the band similar to Depeche Mode.

    Where is Jack? he has some family connection with one of the guys :P

    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

  • Brisk.Brisk. Posts: 11,561
    The Smashing Pumpkins covered Transmission a lot on their 98 tour.

    its interesting how influential these guys have become. Bloc Party, Editors, The national, and Interpol, are obviously hugely influenced by this band

    New Dawn Fades makes me cry every time I hear it. As does Ceremony, I know it's New Order but it's really a Joy Division song. There was a quote yesterday in the English press from Hooky about how JD are bigger now than they were when they were around. That says everything.

    I got all 3 special edition CDs here at work and throw them in occasionally. What could have been will be the question that will never be answered, just like so many others that have left us way too early.

    Agreed. I watched some Joy Division documentaries and thought he nailed it.

    I've been listening to Joy Division for about 15 years now. Though I was into New Order before I listened to Joy Division.

    Closer is an amazing album. It was released a couple of months after Curtis killed himself.

    I recently saw the movie 'Control' and thought they did a brilliant job. All of the actors were superb.

    This was their first ever t.v performance in 1978. It's pretty fucking awesome:
