Ceremony is legitimately a very powerful song. Not too much else by Joy Division ever grabbed me.
Just listened to the Reznor / Murphy cover of Dead Souls and was appalled at how terrible it was. I expect so much more from both of those guys. I ironically think the 1994 cover NIN did for the Crow soundtrack was more interesting than the original. Great at seeding ideas that were better executed under New Order.
Bauhaus - they have their moments. They did a better Ziggy Stardust than Bowie, some of their other songs work but they had a lot of junk.
Both bands are better to think about than actually listen to.
