I think that I'd have to pick New Order over Joy Division by default primarily because I've spent more time listening to NO, but as others have said I really do feel like they're the same band. Besides, "Dead Souls" and "Atmosphere" and "Transmission" and "She's Lost Control" and countless other songs are pure glory; even the Warsaw stuff is brilliant. Then again, as New Order they gave us "The Him" and "ICB" and "In A Lonely Place" and "Confusion" and "True Faith" and "Dream Attack" and "Crystal" (man I can't believe how much that song has grown on me)...
Both are glorious and wonderful. STOP MAKING ME CHOOSE.

Temptation is still like the greatest song ever besides Age of Consent, or at least the greatest New order song ever.

I think I have to say New Order because I'm more familiar with their material. Tthe interesting thing, though, is that my favorite album of theirs is _Movement_, aka the one that sounds the most like Joy Division.

Since this thread started I like JD mostly less and NO mostly more but I like my favourite JD songs more and my favourite NO songs less. I think I am the loser in this trade-off.
Mark I notice you have not yet scanned in that Wire!

it probably is.
it's definitely better than anything Joy Division did.
although that's not really comparing like with like.

But as I've said elsewhere on this board, most Joy Division has aged amazingly well. I appreciate them more now than ever, but I can't play "Closer" anymore. That's the only problem. There's just some mental block there, even though I know it's a brilliant record.
