'Greatest List' *** POLL NOW CLOSED ***

Good day to one and all.

This is not going to be easy for some members with weak hearts and people who could have an adverse reaction to flashing strobe lights... turn away now any cats with the stamina and stomach of a ferret. This is an attempt to compile 'The Greatest List Ever' in the hope that 1 song may be narrowed down, finely tuned and presented as 'The Single Best Song New Order Have Ever Done... Ever'.

The task is simple, the selection process though will be bitter and I expect gang fights, the pillaging of small animals and copious amounts of blood on various dancefloors.

Select your personal 'Top 2' New Order tracks. That's right kids, just '2'. If everyone has the strength to participate the rewards will be splendid. One song will be plucked from the list... 1 song. What could it be?... only you can determine the outcome.

Choose wisely my friends... after all, I'd hate for Rock the Shithouse to appear as the definitive belter.

I thank you in advance for your many and varied responses. Offer ends Thursday 4pm GMT. Results posted Friday afternoon.

My selection:

1 'Throw Me a Bone' 2 'The Temptations'

blimey Huntstahh...

this deserves some careful consideration!!

i'll check back in with mi 2penneth worth this avo.

Tho i'll tell u right now that Temptation has secured one of the hallowed spots :)

1. Tramptation
2. Your visage without a sound

How I would laugh if RTS did come tops. Though I think its about as likely as Britney still being a virgin...anyhow

Dream Attack Round & Round

And if Slow Jam gets a single mention I might get very very angry

Hmm, for how long didn't I take another poll? (there are some on the french forum too, you know..)

Anyhow, here are my £0.02: The Perfect Kiss (12") Vanishing Point

Temptation Bizarre Love Triangle (Substance version)

Well, Huntsy, another well-chosen topic, I'd say.

I know you will not be surprised that one of my top two is:

LEAVE ME A LOAN

The second pick will be much harder and I'm not prepared to commit myself yet. Of course, Temptation Island will be hard to resist. But then, I was listening to the Razormaid remixes (2 and 3) of Subculture last night, and that one too will be hard to leave off even such a short list. And some dark horse may even come from behind. I'm pretty sure it won't be Regret, though.

Think you might as well rename the thread 2nd greatest etc.. as Temptation is coasting it.

Okay....my selection will be

1. Temptation
2. Regret

and hey, I've got a NO friend here with me right now...here's his vote....

1. Temptation
2. Run2

Better count these votes in, Huntsy....

Never fear See-You Jimmy... all friends are welcome to add their own tuppence hapenny. Friend vote counted in... though snakes right, Tempting Miss Daisy seems to be the outright numero uno and we've only had a few inputs from the land.

I never expected Patty to submit his choice so quickly, he must have been doing speed this morning... no surprise Patty that you never let yourself fully go. Be quick with your second choice cat, as the poll shuts tomorrow.

Although Tempting Fish might coast to number 1... the second choice could be very, very interesting.

I vote The Village and Your silent Face and so do these other infinite millions I just asked.

Huntsy, surely you wouldn't have thought it would take me long to identify Leave Me a Bone as one of my top two?

And how am I supposed to figure out when 4 pm GMT is exactly?

You know, Huntsy, The Lone Bone may only get two votes. Where's Jeff when we need him?

Originally posted by Patrick You know, Huntsy, The Lone Bone may only get two votes. Where's Jeff when we need him?

i was pretty close to voting for it myself (and Temptation) but as I'm so 'maaaad' I didn't. It'd certainly be in my top 5

Seb, are those two really your top two?

Yeah really. check my profile for confirmation!

As i've mentioned previously Techniques my favourite album by quite some way. Both songs just seem to hit home somehow.

1. Everything's Gone Green
2. Perfect Kiss 12"

OK, Seb, so be it. But what about Vanishing Point?

Damn you Huntsman!! Just when I think I have a definitive top two ensconsed firmly in my subconcious, along comes a spider who sits down beside me and says, 'are those really your top two Muffball?'. From a cast of millions how can we pick two, bugger me if this is'nt the hardest poll ever!! This will take some thinking about .............................

My votes are:

1. 1963
2. BLT

(But due to severe overconsumption of said songs, I currently would prefer listening to Redrum and Leave Me a Loan)

Originally posted by Patrick OK, Seb, so be it. But what about Vanishing Point?

Yeah top tune. My 3rd fave on technique. I'd be a bit suprised if I was the only one to mention Dream attack to be honest.

Wheres Facsy disappeared to again? I know he's a R&R fan aswell.

Trust me Muffy i know what your goin thru... i'm also agonising over my second choice - even so far as to listen to live versions of my 'shortlist' in order to gauge the level of goosebumps that are created by the listen... but then again no one said it would be easy...

Ceremony Your Silent Face

ceremony roun and round

Best song, Ceremony! And you know I mean the original Hunts, not the wishy washy Substance version. I've never forgotten the feeling of joy I had when I first heard it, and as i've said many times, it still gives me the shivers to this day. Number two will take some time to decide, so many contenders you see. I'll be back!

Here's mine

True Faith (Reading '98 version) Your Silent Face (recent BBC Sessions recording

Right..

as i stated earlier:

TEMPTATION

my second choice was agonising but i've eventully settled on....

FACE UP

so there u go Huntzah:

• TEMPTATION
• FACE UP
