That narrows it down to at least two of the songs on this record then ! A Means To An End or Decades.
I voted for "Passover", by far my favorite studio recording of this great band. The lyrics and delivery send shivers up my spine to this day. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
I can't believe no one voted for "A Means to an End". I always assumed this was one of the more popular JD songs by the fans, and I'm assuming you'll find a good crop of the die hards on a New Order board. Here's a mix CD I made for a friend who never heard them before:
Ice Age Shadowplay Love Will Tear Us Apart A Means to an End She's Lost Control (12") Dead Souls Walked In Line Sound of Music (Live Peel Sessions) Ceremony (Live from Still)
I like to keep them short for repeated listens. Yeah, I know I missed 99% of their good stuff, but when she actually buys the 2 studio albums they did, she may be delighted to know that only 1 song each was on her mix CD, and the best of their music was yet to come.
Strange but true.
