I'm very curious to see how these end up ranking, since not one of the nine is AM ranked (which is criminal).

Hello,

I like Joy Division. They made quite good stuff, but I don’t really understand why they are so praised.

Probably the love they receive is bigger due to the tragic end of Ian Curtis, or maybe it’s just because their music is greater than I feel when I listen to them.

For me New Order are ten thousand times better, but unfortunately less acclaimed.

In any case, Closer is a great record and the first four on my ranking are wonderful songs.

1- 09 | Decades
2- 07 | Twenty Four Hours
3- 02 | Isolation
4- 01 | Atrocity Exhibition
5- 05 | A Means to an End
6- 06 | Heart and Soul
7- 08 | The Eternal
8- 04 | Colony
9- 03 | Passover

Best regards,
