Interzone has always been my favorite JD track of all time

New Dawn Fades still has the ability to turn me sad after one bar, it is possibly one of the most melancholy songs ever written. Love it, but wish it didn't do what it does to me.

I love Disorder. Up until now it would have been New Dawn Fades or Insight, but I've gone for Shadowplay. It's musical perfection. It's simple but effective. Did a cover of it this weekend. It rocks.

I love the way "Disorder" not only opens the album but if you listen to the group chrolologically, it kind of opens the band itself too. I love the bass of also, of course. Tough choice overall.

Currently my fave is "She's Lost Control", but a few years ago it would be "Shadowplay".

New Dawn Fades.

A magnificent, haunting song and the first JD track that I really got into all those years ago. Disorder and Day of the Lords come close, but I have to say that I've never seen what it is about She's Lost Control that many seen to like. Oh well, no accounting for taste.

It has always been New Dawn Fades - my fave JD song. Everytime I listen to it I get f*cked up and the funny thing is I like the way that feels :nuts:

Disorder, Day of the Lords, SLC, Insight, and NDF were my choice picks for this, but I had to go with Disorder.

'Bout time someone did one of these polls for Joy Division. There wasn't one last time we did all this. I was thinking about starting one a while back. Ok then. That's my 2 bits (25 cents).

NDF but Shadowplay's lyrics could contain an exquisite image about cold steel odour if the comma was non existent. Perhaps it shouldn't be there because the thought of assasins smelling of cold steel is delightful.

I could only stare in disbelief......

NDF is awesome. One of the first JD songs I've ever heard. I fell in love instantly.

I can't even vote on this one. How do you choose the best track on your favourite album? It's flawless and I find it hard to view it as individual tracks. Sorry, a big sit-on-the-fence-can't-make-a-decision one for me.
