Re: Best Joy Division Song?

Boy In Eyeliner..i can't help but notice your
favorite Joy Division song changes on a weekly basis..not
that i can blame you. You guys are a pretty up-beat
bunch for a group of Joy Division fans, aren't yah?
Anyway, my favorite is probably Atmosphere which is just
so bleak and so uplifting, it's brilliant. I love
the version on Les Baines Douches as well. Decades is
also brilliant. Atmosphere is a song to listen to when
you're really sad and you want to be uplifted, Decades
is a song to listen to when you're really sad and
you want to hear someone who feels the same way you
do. They are my two favorite JD songs. I also love
"Ceremony" tremendously, but i just wish so so so much there
was a well recorded version of it sung by Ian. I
noticed there's a version on Heart and Soul Box Set
(which i don't have) is that the same live version as on
Still? I really want to know..is there an existing
version of Ceremony in which Ian can be heard singing
throughout the WHOLE song..like on a bootleg or somewhere??
The one that New Order did is brilliant, so so
brilliant, but i just wish it could have been sung by Ian.
Thanks, sorry for long post.
