I would have put Joy Division and New Order together. But then I wouldn't have put the Small Faces and the Faces together. Go figure. 

Joy Division and New Order’s music is totally different. I voted for Echo & the Bunnymen, but will be voting for New Order. I’d vote for New Order over the Bunnymen.

Unknown Pleasures is totally different than Closer. Joy Divison's early punk stuff is light years from Ceremony and In a Lonely Place. Their sound was always progressing although saying that Movement sounds more like Joy Division than New Order. They really started developing their own sound through the early 12 inches and b sides and by Power, Corruption and Lies they'd moved on from Joy Division. 

 

Saying all that, New Order are my favourite band after The Beatles.

Echo & The Bunnymen going out in the first round will be a travesty. As was The The going out at the same stage, especially so as shite like Duran Duran are going through.


Can’t wait for the first round Pink Floyd vs Led Zeppelin head to head.

 

Fuck you Stig, fuck you in the ass.
