I like NO because....I'm proud that their half Salfordian.Never forget their roots,and they're still down to earth.They appeal to the punk in me,and mostly to the electro/rave geek in me too.And well despite the fear of repeating myself,the best of Manchester/Salford/World!!

... because if it wasn't for them, my favourite band would be The Stone Roses and they are great also so either is fine, I guess. Fook this, New Order rocks!!!
They have tracks to suit my every mood and I associate alot of happy times with their music. Also, they have always been streets ahead of alot of the crap out there.
They're cool and I can't think of a single reason not to like them :)
I like New order because...
they make me feel like I have better taste than 99% of the music listening morons out there...fair enough?
...........there wasn't any other band like them in the early 80s.
Also...........humour as well. Gotta have that.

You've got it perfectly there.

Because they're naive (musically and generally), down to earth normal lads (and ladette), who cant read music, and yet create the most wonderful songs and have been getting away with it for years! They did it their way and to hell what everyone else thinks.
Because some of their mistakes have become their savours.
Because theyre still going, after all this time. (Ok, so they had a long lay off of 8 years between albums but alot of bands would have thrown in the towel well before then).
Because they inspired me to play the guitar, keyboard and even drum machine and form a band (even if it was only briefly).
Because they made me think of music in a totally different way.
Because they have provided me with a lot of entertainment and amusement along the way.
The landscape of modern music would have been a lot less colourful without the existence and legacy of New Order.

Ditto.
Oh and they are still capable of producing the odd classic
