As a founding member of both Joy Division and New Order, and with his signature high bass lines, Peter Hook has done more to shape the sound of post-punk and dance music than pretty much anyone else. He now tours the world with Peter Hook the Light, his new band (which includes his son, Jack, on bass), revisiting his classics and selling out arenas. On the occasion of a big show tonight at Irving Plaza in New York City, Vogue.com asked Peter Hook to make a playlist of songs that matter as much to him as his songs have always mattered to us. Here’s what he picked.
“Just My Imagination,” The Temptations
“The Legend of Xanadu,” Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick Titch
“Pale Blue Eyes,” The Velvet Underground
“Leave Me Alone,” New Order
“Atmosphere,” Joy Division
“Fairy Tales,” Stockholm Monsters
“We Call It Acieed,” D Mob
“I Follow Rivers,” Lykke Li
“Faded,” Zhu
“Born Slippy,” Underworld
