10 REASONS TO DIG JOY DIVISION/NEW ORDER COVERS

JD and NO were never my favorites, but I can appreciate them. Here’s some covers.

1. Ceremony (Joy Division Cover)-Xiu Xiu

2. Can’t Take My Eyes Off You / Shadowplay (Joy Division Cover Live 2007)-The Killers. A studio version is available on the Killers’ last release, “Sawdust.”

3. Enjoy The Silence (new order)-Keane

4. Radiohead covers New Order! (Youtube link)

5. Love Vigilantes (New Order Cover)-Voxtrot

6. Love Will Tear Us Apart (JD)-Calexico

7. Hurts Like Teen Spirit-Johnny Cash. One of the greatest mashups ever made, with a twinge of New Order if you look for it.

8. Temptation (New Order cover)-Bobby Bare Jr.

9. Love Will Tear Us Apart (JD)-Albert Kuvezin & Yat-Kha

10. Lullaby (The Cure)-Editors. A band who owes its sound to Joy Division covering a band who owes its sound to New Order. Yeah, I’m kind of a wise ass.

    Yup. I guess I find those three groups so alike that I didn’t even notice …

    “A band who owes its sound to Joy Division covering a band who owes its sound to New Order.”
    The Cure actually formed the same year as Joy Division, so I would’nt really say they owe their sound to New Order…

  4. ekko Says:

    Well then New Order owes its sound to the Cure.

    Seriously, though, they all sound alike to my ears.

    total dumb and unprofessional idiot-post.
    wasted time to read that bullshit.
    try reading wikipedia a bit or an encyclopedia.
    you ain´t a wise ass, you are only a dumb ass.

    NEW ORDER FORMER IN 1981 AND ITS FIRST RELEASE WAS 1981 CEREMONY(JOY DIVISION COVER) – IN A LONELY PLACE ( JOY DIVISION COVER )

    JOY DIVISION FORMER IN 1977 AND FIRST RELEASE WAS 1979 TRANSMISSION
