My vote would go to most of Republic and that stupid football song World in Motion. Really, what were they thinking! :barf:

And as for Republic, even Electronic's first album was better than New Order on Republic - and thats saying a lot! :barf:x2:sick:

Of course we could use two other polls. One for the worse New Order cd, not including the compilations, and another poll for the worse NO song ever, based on initial write ins from the forum members. :evil4:

Liar. It's the only song I've never gotten into, to the point of tapping my foot.

So it was Jeff and not Mike? :laugh:

My vote goes to "Shame Of The Nation". It manages to be even worse than "State Of The Nation". :thumbdown:

I really think "World" should be here.

Times Change is the only song that I have never played more than once in a day; I don't even bother listening to it anymore, I simply skip it.

Some of those tracks are good stuff, even for remixes, like the ones on the b-side of Substance (except for Shite of the Nation, of course!). And The Him? Come on, that song is great. Blue Monday also? I'm surprised not a single person voted for it. It is one of my favorites, along with a lot of people on here, though they may not want to admit it and it is terribly overplayed.

Of that list, went with Times Change. The one NO track that really made me wince is that Armand Vanwhatever remix..........:thumbdown:

I know it's a matter of personal opinion, but it still beggars my opinion that people dislike State Of The Nation. I can understand Shame but not State. Also The Him? Why? It features possibly the greatest lyrical line - "..these times I find no words to say." Precisely. Bernard is lost for words with your ignorance. :nonono:

Liar. It's truly terrible, even ten years on. Whereas I am learning to live with "Slow Jam". And "Rock The Shack" would be alright without the chorus - it's got a great JD live guitar sound.

I, like some others, am fairly astonished to see people voting for "The Him". "small boy kneels humble, in a great hall". It's a bit of a favourite, actually.

Still, each to their own, democracy is a wonderful thing, etc, etc.

I admit that World did bother when it first came out but many moons later in the 2000's I think it's a rather good tune actually. Naaaaaa....it should not be on the list!

since none of my worsts is there (Chemical, Such a Good Thing, Too Late, Vicious Streak..) i´ll go with The Him, because i hardly remember it! :D

Young Offender? Surprised this didn't get any more votes than mine. Isn't this really a second-rate Electronic track? Could've easily picked Liar (the lyrics are actually fairly good though) or Times Change (barely remember it).

And what draw are ya people tokin' to vote for Soundtrack, The Him, or (gasp!) Murder. :nuts:

Oh my god, I forgot "Such A Good Thing"! Thanks Alejo - that is definitely the worst. A complete stinker. Even "Liar" is marginally better. Yeuch.
