The most underrated NO song...

one comment about republic...NTG (not that good) it's maybe only half good...and i don't give a crap if barney worked his ass off on that record.. it's fricking washed out, pussy-ass production.. way to slick. it not really a true new order record in my opinion.

New Order albums lack coherency, but Technique was a slick production too. I like slick productions. I'd describe Get Ready as closer to "washed out, pussy-ass production". New Order's back catalogue would be far weaker without Hague's involvement down the years...

Behind closed doors Here to stay Sabotage

all from the Get ready period but none on the album. Great songs hidden deep within the back catalogue.

Everyone here seems to hate it. It was my favourite on PC&L and it still sounds bloody great

I'm not too keen on the PCL one, but the one on the Pumped Full Of Drugs film is fantastic, a lot smoother and groovier, much better rendition.

Procession...

Sure i heard somewhere that Barney thinks its shit though!

Can "Behind Closed Doors" and "Sabotage" be found for purchase on Amazon.com like "Here To Stay" is?

Nevermind - found them buried in there.

technique is pretty slick, but it was punchy! i'll agree that get ready is a bit washed out, but it much has better songs.

*The twat wrote it on Retro, he didn't even remember they made that song, which is a fookin great song, in fact...

Doubts even Here Here to StayVanishing PointTurn my way1963

Doubts even Here (hooky sings) and played live only 2 or 3 times.

Here to Stay (One of their best, at least on the last 20 years) NEVER PLAYED LIVE (except on BBC's TOTP lip-synch)

Vanishing Point (a kind of a cursed song) I read sometime ago that was originally planned as a technique single.

Turn my way (Had all to be a good single even a good guest star)

1963 they have decided to late to release this one as a single. In 1987 or 1988 could have been a top 5 single (on the back of true faith it was hard to notice even if true faith one of your favorite NO songs like in my case)

Does anybody rate Brutal?

Or Murder?

shellshock state of the nation thieves like us jetstream here to stay

Anyone mention Turn The Heater On?

God there are tons, but lately for me its Ecstasy...that track is an experimental gem...ive never heard another track even similar to that.

since no one has mentioned it, Brutal.

Procession, Gone Green, and the Peel version of Dreams Never End.

What I wouldn't give to hear that floating out over Hyde Park...Some good calls upthread : Mesh, ICB (Peel Version), and yes....I Told You So is *very* underappreciated. Whoever it was who compared it to old, experimental NO was definitely on the money!

I fuckin' love you.

Blimey. Which bit of what I said did you like?

Doubts Even Here, I Told You So and Mesh are my top 3 favorite New Order songs!!!

I love Truth, Only The Lonely (aka Ecstasy), The Village, This Time Of Night and Way Of Life. They never get much attention in conversations generally....

I am going to list a few songs that aren't underrated amongst fans of NO, but those that are underrated amongst the horrendous corporate radio of Salt Lake City...

In other words...anything other than Blue Monday, True Faith, and Bizarre Love Triangle...but I digress...

Songs that do not get nearly enough radio time and should be enjoyed by the masses are:

Temptation Run Your Silent Face Ceremony Someone Like You Lonesome Tonight most anything from WFTSC Regret

Isn't there something we can do about the corporate drivel?

Every Little Counts. Most people seem to loathe it, but I like it a lot. :D

*Wow, seems I've found an even bigger fan of Mesh and ITYS! Mesh is certainly in my Top 10, and ITYS in the top dozen too, but I can't rate them higher than Blue Monday, Perfect Kiss or True Faith...

i can't understand why anyone would dislike it, either. it's 'silly,' yes, but also charming and endearing. and i may have already posted this about ELC--but i shall say it again.:)

Everythings Gone Green Here To Stay 5 8 6

Video 5 8 6 is absolutely brilliant.
