What about them?

Joy Division are New Order but before Ian Curtis hung himself.

Same band, different name, different singer and lyricist.

New Order became better than Joy Division were.
New Order have done plenty ****e tracks, however.

They're not alone in that of course.
How can you judge that?

Actually don't. You're liking off music is totally different to mine.
 
At the ice rink today with my pseudo grandaughter who is learning to skate. Bit parky in shorts.

A lot of respect for the women in full muslim gear who are trying to skate. Particularly funny though when they go flying legs all over the place looking a little less conservative.

Being a young Mancunian around at the time New Order, a local band, came to the fore kind of helps.

In my opinion, they went on to better things than Joy Division would have with the inclusion of a keyboardist and different music styles.

That's how I can judge.

How about you?

Bernard Sumner was one of the best guitarists in that scene too and a real innovator for the development of electronica.
 
I don't really understand what they're doing but it looks like the kind of thing that astro does when he's not writing emails to PGMOL about how they're ruined his adult life.
It’s actually quite an amusing game, if a tad nerdy.
