My FAVOURITE JD song!
I can't think of any weak tracks, I used to hate Incubation, cos I've never been a massive instrumental person, but it's grown on me! If I had to pick one it would be The Kill on the second album of Substance, that's never really grabbed me.

Really? Tell me again how they walked.
In a line.

What is wrong with you lot?
The guitars in this song blow me away every time.
You lot should not be allowed an opinion ;)
i really cant think of a bad Jd song. Maybe least favorite such as the ice age.
Maybe wer should have the worst of electronic next,

Never did anything for me.
Plus I think Julie Andrews could have done a duet with Ian.

I'd forgotten about that one.
it automatically suggests boringness.
The worst is what is mostly crap on the 'Warsaw' bootleg.
Autosuggestion is great by the way.
This thread should be retitled 'The least good of Joy Division' because JD proper never did anything bad in the studio. At this stage, I like NO more, but JD never had silly or pointless tracks like 'Sate of the Nation'.
Surely the early Warsaw tracks like Gutz are the worst ones. But if we're going with proper "Joy Division" tracks, I'd have to pick From Safety to Where, Autosuggestion (only because of Hannett's production, the live versions rock), Candidate, and They Walked in Line.
I'm actually quite fond of Walked in Line and The Kill. Ice Age isn't bad either, at least it's got some bang to it.
Autosuggestion is fairly boring, but it does grind to quite a nice climax. Exercise one is much worse. I've never been too fond of Dead Souls, but I suspect I'll get lynched if I mention it - never sounded particularly Joy Division-y to me.
i honestly cant belive some of the posts in this thread,in fact i nearly dropped the teapot on a few occasions. DEAD SOULS EXERSISE ONE INCUBATION ETERNAL AUTOSUGESTION SOUND OF MUSIC
are any of the tracks shite?? i think fookin not. yer all bloody mental if you ask me.
Love Sound Of Music, about the only track that I don't actively seek out to play would be From Safety To Where? Don't really hate any JD, that one would be my least favourite of the lot.

perhaps i am.
I don't understand how anybody could possibly think that.
Yeah,what Green said. I'd add The Eternal to that list but I would not describe it as "worst."
From Safety To Where is quality, arguably better than a couple of tracks the band kept on Unknown Pleasures.
The Eternal is brilliant as well. Passover does nothing for me and I dislike the recorded versions of Deal Souls and She's Lost Control.
Candidate is the one I like least, though I'll not be rushing to play These Days either. Failures completes the unholy trilogy.

I agree.
The Sister Ray on Still is the only thing I can say I don't like.
They've obviously got a lot of slit your wrists tunes; these aren't bad, but you need to be in the right mood to take them on...
Worse this, worse that. Next it will be the "Worse thread?" thread.
hey, now thats an idea!:\ohwell:

Cheer up.
This thread is a companion piece to 'The Worst of New Order', so it's great to hear other choices.

exactly - a lot of people have been complaining of 'negative threads', but i think we all agree that the worse of JD/NO is so much better than most others best. This thread and my 'Worst of NO' are only for fun and something to do... for the record i think the live stuff on Still is my worse of JD.
