Happy Birthday Ian Curtis!!! ... hey everybody what's your favorite Joy Division song?

Ian Curtis was born in 15 July 1956 so if he was still alive today he'd be... uh... 69! (nice!)

My fave Joy Division song's gotta be Dead Souls... Trent Reznor did an OK job of covering it, but really he just demonstrated what a great job Ian did...
- Dead souls is definitely goated. So many good tracks to choose from. I've always been partial to isolation. And the tonal whiplash of love will tear us apart again is always iconic.
Probably New Dawn Fades, which is a masterpiece I could break down a lot, followed by The Eternal.
Transmission
Atmosphere
Wilderness! The lyrics actually feel like a precursor/prequel to Dead Souls a bit
Disorder - basic choice, but oh wow what an opening song
No Love Lost. Amongst all the dark, dystopian tunes they put out, this one is far and away the darkest and the most dystopian.
Shadowplay
