The thread used the word 'influential'.
No one has said Joy Division.
Well, it's a given isn't?
To me, New Order is the greatest, that's why they're my favourite band. They wouldn't be my favourite if I didn't think they were the best.
Of course there are others who are influential, but not innovative, others are innovative, but not varied, others are successful, but not independent... When I think of New Order, I cannot dissociate it with Joy Division, it's their root, their start and their history. So with Joy Division as their original self, New Order have it all; the past, the influence, the creativity, the trend, the nightclub, the art covers, the independent label, the major, the boss, the manager, the producer, underground, pop, original, formulaic, rock, soft, macho, gay, you name it, New Order have it all.
Sounds pretty much like the Velvets to me :D
