There isnā€™t enough :clap:to convey the greatness of that song!! Everything about it, from start to finish, is epic.

This song has been posted before but here is a version live on Joolsā€¦

Starting with the title.

Itā€™s hard to pick one all time favourite song, but when pushed by some silly cunt that needs to know I always give this song. Itā€™s beautiful in every sense.

Youā€™ve opened the flood gates now @farmerinthecity

Curtis was 23 when he passed away. That would make him 21 or 22 when he wrote the lyrics to Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Bloody hell.

Thatā€™s alternative.

Iā€™ve mentioned it before but there is a great ending scene to the penultimate episode of Romanzo Criminale to this tune. It is the most stunning piece of television I have ever seen.

I was reading the Joy Division wiki last night.

Apparently the drummer they had before Morris was a cunt, and the other lads wanted rid of him. So on the way back from the studio they stopped the car and asked him to check on a tyre which one of them said was flat. Once he got out of the car, they sped off!!

Thereā€™s always some cunt who gets shafted and the band never have the balls to front up.

It was on wikipedia so draw your own conclusions/

@farmerinthecity have you seen Control? The biopic of Ian Curtis, it is an excellent film if bleak as fuck

I havenā€™t mate. I have heard very good things about it though.

Well worth a watch

@Raymond Crotty and now yourself.

Two people worth listening to.

Joy Division were very well portrayed in 24 Hour Party People.
