New Order: where to start?

[Do it]

I guess the title of the thread says it all. I need recommendations regarding their albums, compilations and songs..

Thanks in advance.

Pre-New Order
But in my opinion they have no classic albums so I would get Substance or their Best of.

I'd start off with Joy Division - Heart and Soul. The band members in New Order were apart of that group before Ian Curtis killed himself. After getting that, get New Order - Singles. Which has all their good songs to see if you like them.

yeah, I'd agree with substance.

I could never get into New Order minus a song or two. Joy Division on the other hand is one of my favorite bands ever.

start with the singles collection. go from there. i see some suggested starting with joy division...

although they are the remaining members of joy division, they sound nothing like them aside from the eariest stuff that came from the ashes of joy division.

They might not sound alike, but it's good to hear the music before they became New Order. Joy Division is darker than New Order. Joy Division is great and I love New Order's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart, even though it's practically their song.

completely agreed. but dude asked about new order.
