Special Bonus: "80's Club Friends Playlist Part 2 (Happy 1st Birthday #OPS)

This is the anniversary of the first playlist I ever put up on this blog. I figured I would return to the theme of the first playlist (80's Dance Club).

In addition, Pete Burns (Dead or Alive) passed away this week, and I met him when I was a club DJ and promoter way back in the 80's (RIP).

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (Factory, 1979)

On Wednesday's I post an All-Time Album. Today's album marks the 20th post in this series. 

I wanted this one to matter, so I am choosing Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division both because of it's importance in my life and because it is a great album.

New Order - Power, Corruption, And Lies (1983, Qwest)
New Order - Power, Corruption, And Lies (1983, Qwest)

Every Wednesday is another All-Time Album.

This week the "lucky" album is New Order's Power Corruption and Lies. PC&L was the second album New Order put out after the death of Ian Curtis forced Joy Division to become New Order. This is still, all these many years later, my favorite New Order album.
