Jetstream and Rock the shack are without a doubt the worst New Order songs. I don't think you can really even count MTO as a song. B-sides shouldn't count anyway. These are songs they decided to put on an album! And even release one as a single!
i can't belive some people are still bitching over Jetstream... my god... World in Motion...that is an embarassing song.
I think New Order that they made bad songs so I know not to make songs like those bad ones. Whatever they are. I hope to write a song thats as good as Rock the shack though!! :D

This is true? guilty partner? Sunrise? are you crazy? 
All off Movement.
Ultraviolence off PCL.
Nothing from Low-Life
Every Second Counts off Brotherhood.
Technique is perfect.
Nothing on Republic grates.
Slow Jam off Get Ready.
Working Overtime off WFTSC.
Fine Time and Rock The ShackWouldn't 'Tasty Fish' be great as a NO song :D but a little less synth sounding, you know, throw a bit of hooky's bass in there and that would be a classic NO song, Gillian's vocals could remain also, just like when Hooky had a track or two with his vocals on Movement.
Other's that would of been good as NO songs... Hmm, Reality would of been a good one. Sorry for the sudden change of subject, I originally read this thread as 'What song you wish New Order WOULD have made?' So i'll now get to the original subject;
Songs that NO shouldn't have made?
Times Change There's a few on Movement I believe.
Oh and btw, 'Chemical' is bloody great, so is 'Young Offender'.
hmmmmm..
mto is pretty much worthless.... shellshock is the worst single.... chemical is probably the worst album track....
winner: chemical. 
I always had pride in knowing that I could enjoy all New Order albums in the past. I have to say though they should have scrapped most of the new album. I can stand maybe 3 or 4 songs on it.
I have to defend Rock The Shack, I rather like it. Same with Every Little Counts; it's a fun little song.
But as for the worst songs, I'd have to say:
Guilt
Working Overtime ( I just can't bear to listen to this at all)
Slow Jam

NEVER! It's one of their finest!
To answer the question, I wish they'd never made a song like Crapstream... Sorry, that's their nadir...

Good instrumentation-lyrically very ordinary.

Lyrically one of NO's better songs. Autobiographical, political and social.
But how can the portrait of an only son also have a brother who said that he was dead?
I think that you can take your pick from the new album- Hooky and Steve should give Barney a talking to and tell him to get his finger out and start writing lyrics that aren't a total embarrassment.
And is it just me, or are New Order starting to sound like Barney's side-project to Electronic?
My first impression of WFTSC was that quite a few of the songs have a heavy Twisted Tenderness kind of Electronic Sound; so that makes me think that Barney is in charge on the songwriting front.
As for the popularity of this debate... should we start a new thread; Do you wish New Order had never been made - sheesh -
As far as sounding like Electronic, I think Electronic have some better songs that wftsc does. Off the album I can only really enjoy Who's Joe, hnwyd, wfstc, krafty, and wo. And sometimes turn, its a song that should be great, but for some reason it feels dull lately. I think Get Ready out does it. Although, I do agree that Barney must be in control of songwriting. I think Hooky should be though, :D. I guess they'll never be the same group, we just have to love the new NO.
