I couldn’t believe it when I found out that some hot-topic-MTV band covered this amazing song. PFFFT! RIDICULOUS!

nowday kids doesn’t search in google about Joy Division, ’cause they doesn’t care!
They’re happy listening to Fall Out Boy…most of them think that is a original song.

*rolls eyes*
ok, so thier cover isn’t that great. But doesn’t this show that they have a whole lot of admiration for Joy Division to do a cover. A whole lot of bands look up to Joy Division and what they did. Get over it. Seriously. This doesn’t make them any less musicians. And come on! A bunch of kids today wouldn’t know who Joy Division is if it weren’t for bands doing covers. The fan base has grown because of things like this.

That makes my ears hurt. Fall Out Boy should be torn apart. But I doubt it will be with love.

Wow, that’s worse than the Paul Young version.

I like Squarepusher’s version and Susannah and the Magical Orchestra moves me almost to tears. The Cure’s not bad I suppose. As for FOB, they just won’t stop. “Hum Hallelujah” off their newest piece of treacle quotes – you guessed it – Leonard Cohen. There should be a law. (Something like your only allowed to ruin a classic for every concomitant shot of your weiner that “magically” finds its way from your Sidekick to the Internets.) I hope they – and their action figures from Hot Topic – end up in an incinerator. After all, as Pete Wentz recently told Blender, he’s only “half-gay.”

Yikes. That was just plain bad. Reminded me of this genius post from My Old Kentucky Blog. I'm partial to the Nouvelle Vague cover version.
