Wasn't into them until about 8 years ago. Got into my wife's Best Of New Order CD about a decade before that. Great bands. First Cure and Siouxie albums are worth checking out too, IMO.

Jook, tried New Order yet?

More polished and 80s sounding, but almost the same band.

Back then I found that people who liked New Order also had these in their music list

Flock of Seagulls
The Human League
Eurythmics
Depeche Mode
Soft Cell
a-ha
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Yazoo
Ultravox
Kajagoogoo
Thompson Twins
Cure
and lets not forget the New Wave movement loved to wear combat boots and you had to have

These boots were made for walking in your repertoire

The 1st JD album is great!! Very minimalistic w/ ambient sounds and quirky guitar.
The vocals are very dark but Ian Curtis was a very dark guy who led a very short and tortured life.

That's cool. I find them to be very similar in a lot of ways. Both bands are my best friend's favorites.

I liked both for a few tunes...
But loved the Cure.. even before they became bizzare goth make-up wearing motha'fers!
Love the talking fish..
