Here is a collection of Joy Division covers. They range from idiosyncratic versions of Joy Division songs (Low's "Transmission", Hot Chip's "Transmission") to candid live covers of them (Pavement's 50-second "Disorder", Mark Kozelek singing "blah blah blah"). In compiling these songs I have learned that bands love to cover "Transmission", they really really love to cover "Love Will Tear Us Apart", and that Joy Division rules.
New Order - Ceremony
This song really doesn't count as a cover. It is just Joy Division playing Ian Curtis' song without Ian Curtis (RIP). It rules though and if you don't have it you need to download it.
