I was amazed that Atrocity Exhibition did not rate Atmosphere. My top 5 would be ( 1 Atmosphere 2 24 Hours 3 Decades 4 New Dawn Fades 5 Dead Souls

Ceremony is a New Order song of course!

Five tracks seems rather unfair, as even in such a relatively short career, Joy Division produced so many excellent tracks. For me, the singles are (predictably) my favourites, mainly because of the associations.

Anyway, here's my lot;

  1. Transmission
  2. Love Will Tear Us Apart
  3. Decades
  4. Shadowplay
  5. New Dawn Fades

I want to add many more, but you said 5...:(

:beer:

Here's the list (for today)

  2. Transmission

  4. Interzone
  5. Atmosphere

Today's top 5...

Decades New Dawn Fades Isolation Dead Souls In a Lonely Place

That IALP demo is one of the most disturbing things I've ever heard...but I'd also rate the New Order version just as highly (tho' it's less disturbing but maybe more moving).

OK six! It's hard to rate these in numbered order. You have your favourite song but then after that it's difficult to say that 24 Hours is better than Dead Souls for example. Please list as many as you feel. :)

I have yet to see anyone mention the song Failures which is one of my favorite JD songs. I was wondering what everyone thinks of that one.
