New Order
Released 1983Punk & New Wave
Classic
The leap from post-punk grief into electronic dance-rock, melodic and forward-looking. The foundation of their sound. Hugely influential. Sits between the landmarks and earns its spot.
On vinyl: '80s originals are plentiful and usually affordable; reissues tend to be cleaner but pricier.
