Deducing the Favourite NO track of all time - part 7 - Substance CD/MC 2 :skeptic:

The tape had C&W so it's on this poll!

Easy for me. Lonesome Tonight's my favorite NO song period, and it certainly beats most everything here by a mile.

Lonesome for me too

Lonesome Tonight. another front-runner pick.

Most bands would (and have!) sold their souls to Satan thrice over for a song like that, New Order just tosses it on a b-side and goes on...

--Sam

I was gonna go for Procession as I prefer their earlier songs but nothing comes close to 1963!

toss up between In a lonely place and Lonesome tonight. Lonesome won ... I usually switch it off before 1963 starts, just never liked that one at all

There is no end to this.....

Hard choice. Procession or Lonesome Tonight????

I voted for the latter because I hear it less and the performance of the band is so much better especially the vocals and the ending.

Hurt, an effectivly creepy little song.

Voted for Procession here.

This is a tough one as both Procession and Lonesome Tonight are in my all-time NO top 5. But Lonesome Tonight it is - I remember flipping Thieves over when it came out and thinking how magnificent the b-side was. It still is.

Whoever will vote for Shame of the Nation deserves a nice hard kick in the arse. And, where is Shellcock?

It was close between IALP and Procession. Usually, I'd have gone for IALP, but Procession has been getting more play lately so I went with it. Lonesome Tonight and Kiss of Death were also close calls.

My vote goes to 1963 - it's the only track on CD2 I like.

This is the most difficult one yet, given IALP/Procession/Lonesome Tonight/1963 are all one here. I've vote for Procession, but on another day, etc, etc.

In A Lonely Place ! of course.

And Procession is one of my fav too.

IALP. Favourite meaning here: making most impact on first listening. Procession i would vote for when dealing with factus 8 (1981-1982). Lonesome tonight is listened to most often! Isn't it strange; having to choose from so many favourites.

Originally posted by Shelley Blair My vote goes to 1963 - it's the only track on CD2 I like.

you really don't like any of the other ones? amazing how we can share an interest and yet be poles apart ...

I know I missed Dub-vulture and Shellcock. But noone would have voted for them anyway - they are arse!

I really like Mesh (aren't there different versions of this title?)

tough one here as three of my real real faves are in this list - Lonesome Tonight, Procession & Cries & Whispers.

WOW!! A real mind bender here!!! How to choose between Lonesome Tonight and 1963???

Alrighty then...I leaned towards 1963. "What was the name of that song on the other side of 1963?"

In a Lonely Place

Another vote for Lonesome Tonight...and for Chairman Mao :D

1963, followed closely by procession.

Interesting selection. The vote goes for IALP with Cries & Whispers a close second.
