Members aman74 Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 One of those bands that I've known about for years, always heard what I liked, but for some reason never delved into. I'm sure we all have some "holes" in our musical exposure, even if they're obvious ones. I had even seen the movie Control a couple years ago and still hadn't picked up an album. Good movie by the way, for fans or not. I was at the library the other day and picked up the album Closer. I'm loving it so far, but would love to hear any other recommendations for what to check out next. Youtube videos, live stuff, etc... all welcome.

Members Poltergeist Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Closer and Unknown Pleasures are absolutely essential. Substance, after that. Unknown Pleasures dug a hole through my skull. easily Top 5 albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GREC Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 They really only had 2 LPs. Unknown Pleasures is my fave. 'Still' is good too -unreleased stuff after Ian's death. Rhino records put out a box set with about everything they recorded called Heart & Soul.Had those albums when they came out & hardly anyone was listening to them then. It took long enough!

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yeah, there isn't much to hear from them unfortunately. Substance, Unknown Pleasures, and Closer are all essential. There's no reason to skip any of them. If those float your boat, then New Order Movement and Factus 8 and Power, Corruption, & Lies are also all essential.

Members aman74 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks to all for the great replies. I knew they weren't around very long, but rather than just look at a discography I figured by posting here I'd get a lot of other good info, which I did! Thanks again and I look forward to going on a big Joy Division kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GREC Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Joy Division were originally called Warsaw. A bit more raw. This CD has gems... [video=youtube;oEFcxA-dV5w] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unfed Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 i'd say one of the first things to check out is the live release "Les Bains Douches 18 December 1979". Joy Division was much better live than they were in the studio, and this release is probably the best quality that i've heard. the emotion that this show captures makes most of the studio versions pale in comparison. oh, and definitely the BBC/Peel Sessions stuff as well.

I am surprised and disappointed in you people for taking this long to say this. Les Bains Douches is THE Joy Division album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Comparing Bauhaus and Joy Division is like comparing NIN to Nirvana. Both are great, but in completely different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
