as this is my thread too and i kinda ranted about this in the New Order Live at Wemberlee thread, JD can't be included in a NO top ten...

my whole complaint about the live gig the other night was that they kicked off with 5 or 6 JD songs...and as much as i like them and they way they are performed by Barney now, i still don't wanna see NO playing JD songs to that extent - THEY are two different bands imo, but basically with 3 of the remaining members the same...yes they do overlap but they are different - i am a NO fan, and i like JD but was never into them because that all happened before i even got into NO... its a complex issue... but for the purposes of this thread, i say it should be NO top ten... if you wanna start a JD top ten, then i can add to that
