Top 3 crap New Order tracks

1. Blue Monday
2. Broken Promises
3. Working Overtime

Digi that is fucking fighting talk, Broken Promise fuckin rocks!!!!!!!!

Jizzstream Jizzstream(The Jive Turkey remix) Semenstream.(The gnarly pap funk re deux)

In my own opinion:

Jetstream

Dracula's Castle

(No surprises I guess)

Krafty (Makes my list for the stupefyingly bad lyrics alone. Peter Hook's bassline for this song is actually kinda catchy)

Along those lines, Honourable mention goes to Turn My Way, for even though it's a gorgeous song, I love hearing it and Bernard and Billy sing their hearts out, the best part is the first verse, after which the lyrical content of the song completely flies apart. When I first heard the song, I was utterly mesmerized from the first words...Until this lovely chorus kicked in:

"I don't wanna be Like other people are Don't wanna own a key Don't wanna wash my car Don't wanna have to work Like other people do I wanted to be free I wanted to be true"

At which point I slammed my head into the wall. And it doesn't get much better from here. It's like Bernard was grasping at straws and picking out randomly rhyming words. For me anyway, it really hurt an otherwise beautiful song.

The trouble with Krafty was the chorus never quite achieves lift off. The verses are far superior to that chorus. Johnnie Walker is actually a big fan of the song, strangely enough. He always gives it a spin when he's sitting in for Terry Wogan's Radio 2 breakfast show. He's even played some of the other mixes of it too.

Though not officially a NO song, Barney's version of Sister Ray is the worst song they ever did.

1.Jetstream 2.Turn my way 3. Rock the shack

As for Rock the Shack, I like Bobby Gillespie, and I like Primal Scream. But the song is shit.

As for Jetstream, there are a couple of songs I like by the Scissor Sisters...but this song is shit too IMO.

Nonsense. Barney's ad lib lyrics on the Glastonbury 87 performance are among his finest works.

"She said i love you 'cause yer name begins with B!"

"I said that's not a veerrryy good reason I said that's not a veerrryy good reason"

1/ Working Overtime 2/ Everyone Everywhere 3/ Rock the Shack

All so dull

also

1/ 1963 - Lionrock mix 2/ Ruined In a Day - Bogle mixes 3/ BLT - Armand Van Helden mix

All great songs ruined

"You've gotta look at life the way it oughta be Looking at the stars from underneath a tree There's a world inside and a world out there With that tv you just don't care

They've got violence, wars and killing too All shrunk down in a two-foot tube But out there the world is a beautiful placeWith mountains, lakes and the human race And this is where I wanna be And this is what I wanna do"

The ENTIRE SONG sounds like this. I'm sorry, but while I like the beat too the lyrics are just ghastly. I believe it is actually a felony to play this song publicly in some areas as its lyrics classify as a form of terrorism.

Seriously? That's actually pretty awesome.

"Go on back to work"

"Aye aye cap'in"

"Go on back to work"

"Aye aye cap'in"

"Go on back to work"

"Aye aye cap'in"

ad infinitum

Krafty's grown on me though. The lyrics are terrorism??? I actually like the positive vibe in the lyrics and the music. Yeah the lyrics are typical Barney stuff but to call it terrorism is a bit far fetched. And the lyrics do not seem to advocate terrorism, IMO.

Heard Sink or Swim? Makes Krafty sound clever.

"Jesus save this heart of gold Take the time to save a soul Will he bend or will he crack? Save this yearling from the pack He's not aware of anything Sure as summer follows spring Doesn't know where he's coming from Reaching perfection takes too long

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (mutherfucker)"

or Dynamo

"Hey there whatcha gonna do Keep the faith inside of you This whole world can fall apart But youre still the brightest star"

OK-I'll own up to an admittedly stupid joke: I was being a little silly. They of course do not ADVOCATE terrorism. I was making a joke that the lyrics are so bad playing them publicly could be CONSIDERED an act of terrorism. Yes it's a very positive song and it's bloody catchy and it grows on you, but you have to admit it's pretty laughable.

1. Run Wild

I love it

Shouldn't it be in DR Forum?

Anyway, the top 3 crap NO? Easy:

1. Shellshock
2. Way Of Life
3. Working Overtime

Jetstream is saved by its gorgeous remixes. As for "Run Wild", it's actually tolerable; at least one can say Barney came to terms with God.
