I like New Order mostly but could quite happily live without ever hearing Blue Monday again.

I find New Order’s musical output more ‘depressing’ than Joy Division’s.

I can say, with confidence, that if I never heard Blue Monday again it would be too soon. But that goes for much of New Order’s output.

If you don’t like Blue Monday, you’ll hate this track, which is a 22-min prototype for it as well as for Ultraviolence and 586, written by Stephen Morris for the opening of the Hacienda. Hypnotic, good for running.

Anyway, Blue Monday is still fucking ace.

Grumpy old men. Blue Monday is still mint. Love 586 for running @oneallanclarke

This could be a thread of its own. Songs I used to love , but can’t stand now . There must be a tipping point in your brain where after so many listens you like them less and less . Brown eyed girl, springs to mind for me, declined rapidly over the last 20 years.

Never keen on BM.
At the time BLT was my favourite, but now usually prefer Thieves Like Us, Temptation etc.
Was Ceremony left over from Joy Division recordings?

Djpekingman

cordshoes Yes it was. And Blue Monday is still ace. Much better than the samey wallpaper dross they seem to have been coming up with for the last 25 years.

Can’t get blue Monday out of my head (and I wish I could remix).

Harvest

Jon How does it feel?

Djpekingman

Jon Is that the Kylie Mash-up you’re referring to?

It’s still sonically brilliant. Some bizarre sounds in there.

Ceremony is mint.

So far we’ve had two ‘mints’.
And one ‘ace’.
No ‘meh’s’ yet, though.

Djpekingman On the Layer Cake soundtrack. 👍

No grumpy old man here. I disliked it when it came out, when I was 18, I believe.

Renatino

Some people dislike New Order, some people like New Order. Saying that Michael McIntyre, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and the Nazi’s can/could pull big crowds. 🤷♂

Renatino Some people pay good money to watch Monkey Karaoke.
