Honestly, I can't really remember if I heard BM that much back in the day. I do remember Regret on the radio circa 93/94, so I'd have to go with that as my first NO song. I'm sure something from their Eighties heyday was on the radio back when I was younger, but Regret was the only one I can remember prior to 1997 or so.
First New Order song I ever heard was Ceremony. First Joy Division song I ever heard was Exercise One I think, on the first 1979 Peel Session.
First JD song I saw live was Disorder, first NO live song was In A Lonely Place I think.
As far as JD, LWTUA, though She's Lost Control is what made me a fan (the Something Else performance, thankfully included on the Peel Sessions rerelease)
Yes...Blue Monday was the first NO tune I heard...thanks to that infamous older type sibling that I have...second NO tune was none other than Love Vigilantes...hehehehe...not that you asked, or much less care!!!!
The first New Order song I heard was True Faith, though i didnt know New Order did it. The first song I heard that I knew New Order did was Bizarre Love Triangle, which got me into them. I have to admit about being an uneducated american and the first time i heard blue monday was when the orgy version was getting a lot of airplay. it wasnt until i bought my first new order cd, best of, that i knew new order had done it.
First JD song was when the Transmission single came out.
First NO song was Ceremony.
Both songs are very near to my heart.
First new order song I heard would have been True Faith, but didnt know it was them. The first New Order song I heard and got me into them was BLT. Saw the clip, changed everything then heard Blue Monday and it went on from there.
My first NO experience was True Faith! I wasn't really into them but I really like the song. Good thing I came around :)
Since Power, Corruption and Lies was the first album of NO I heard (from a friend) the first song i would have heard was Age of Consent
I think it's Temptation or BLT, I can't remember exactly. Actually, first NO song that brought me into New Order is True faith.
Blue Monday was the first song I heard - would've been 8 or 9 at a school disco
Although at the time - I never knew it was New Order, much in the same way - I had heard Transmission & LWTUA - but didn't know they were by JD, the song that got me into New Order was Temptation from Substance (me Uncle John played the album over & over) first recollection of seeing them on TV was True Faith;)
Hearing Blue Monday crackle out of an AM radio in SE Melbourne in '83 was a life changing moment.. Still recall it quite vividly.

Snap! Was just about to write that very same comment.

....'cept it was from my brother, who definately isn't a friend. Actually that's all a lie - it was Temptation from said brother's Factus 8 Vinyl in 1982. Absolutely blew me away (not bad considering I was 10)
And he quite possibly meant to say 'vinyl' as well..
A big night Mr Dog, perchance? Smokin' a little crack? Perhaps those crazy guys in the Ancient Marine Life department dunked you in the formaldahyde tank a bit too long?

Yeah, but yer just chasin', lad. But that's OK - I hear second is the new first, so you're just too hip, baby. I'm getting a bit beyond communicating on this forum tonight to be honest - my day has been:

and then probably :\puke:

Keep this pace up and we'll both hit the fabled 316 before Sandra Sully hits the screen.

First new order song I heard was Blue Monday and then True Faith 94. First JD song was LWTUA.
i heard blue monday loads of times before knowing it was by new order, so it probably was the first new order song i heard because everyone knows it. the first song i heard actually knowing it was by new order was true faith which got me into them in the first place.
It was one of three: BM, True Faith or Regret. Think it might've been BM but I'm not 100% sure.
of course it was my first. They always played it at skating for the lets go really fast and try to kill ourselves section of the night. Those were the days
