What is New Order's most underrated song?

Originally posted by KnownPleasures My turn !Let's Go (instrumental version)

This song has it all, it is classic New Order, and having no words makes it even better as there is nothing to cringe at. Catchy bassline, typical Barney guitar patterns, synths at the end. A perfect song to open a gig with or to break things up in the middle. If you don't believe me, check the video of Leuven 85. Pure quality.

Hear, hear!! As a matter of fact, I'm thinking about weeding the audio of that concert one of these days... Don't miss it, y'all!

I always thought DNE was a great track, even with Barney's bad vocals on the whole Movement album

Hang on a while though Jan - I've got a mixer of the full show on its way at the moment, that should be better than the FM version, and should include the whole set ! I'll copy it for you as soon as it arrives.

In fact, Barney's vocals are particularly shit on Dreams Never End. So much so in fact, he starts to sound like Hooky

Wow, Tim... That would be fantastic! I'll gladly offer that copy up for weeding once I get it. Many, many thanks already!!

I think Tim beat me to it...

But that's not Barney!! It's Hooky singing! well that shows my inexperience as a NO fan; I've got more reading to do. Damn myself being born in 85

Trying put the discussion back on topic. BTW underrated by whom ? My personal opinion is Truth (Movement). The atmosphere of the song is great, between (old) JD and (new) NO.

It's gotta be 'Here To Stay', an incredible song that seems to have fallen by the wayside, definately underrated by a long shot I think...

Nobody seems to like Blue Monday. Not even the band. :D

No seriously songs like Hurt, 1963 and Run spring to mind as the most underrated.

5 8 6. :D

The eternally spooky "Truth" gets my vote - it's their "Ghost Town" dontcha know!?

Actually, it's so neglected I'd forgotten it when I've first posted !

I've heard the demo version with vocals, courtesy of Rocket Mick Productions, the lyrics are very nice and simple, nothing pretentious and nothing to be ashamed about. Lovely guitar song.
