Matches will start tomorrow night.

some toughies there. dreams never end vs 586. thats a hard one for me temptation and true faith got easy rides

Sub-Culture vs. Thieves Like Us should be interesting. Confusion vs. Here To Stay, too...

In A Lonely Place and Vietnam getting paired is hilarious. Polar opposites?

Hurt vs Lonesome Tonight Chosen Time vs Truth Sunrise vs Face Up

Fairly straightforward save these 3 matches. Gonna lose a favourite regardless. Age Of Consent to win.

Kevin Hewick will hate you even more...

And no Saville Soundtrack? ;)

Homage is there.

Haystack isn't classed as a New Order song, they were his backing band, and Theme was done by a studio engineer rather than any of New Order! Hope you don't mind that I left off the "Alan Wise Introduction" as well

The Saville Soundtrack sort of slipped through the net, call it quality control ;)

In A Lonely Place vs Vietnam

The Happy One vs Esctacy

Very apt

Guilty Partner vs Denial! That has to be a fix!

How so?

Can see there being much more closer ties in this cup.

And how come you can reply and add a comment in each thread but you couldn't in the JD cup?

if you are the one suspected of being the guilty partner then surely you would act in denial, im seeing the irony of these words when looked at from a slightly betrayed in love angle:\ohwell:

this will take forever.

Send the finalists to No and demand they play a fan appreciation show with all these songs both in europe and north america. And maybe even asia. Wet dream.

A One off gig may come to fruition..Who can say?Probably a smart move for the band to do it Provided you lot arn't voting the likes of Jetstream,Shellshock,State of the nation et al,it would be a class gig(lets have it in England:D )

A direct response to some comments received from people who wished they could say why they had voted the way they had.....

Just rattled through these and really enjoyed it.

Cheers OM!

Will there be a Super Cup Final? The JD winner vs the NO winner?:D

I fear one of my personal favorites (The Village) may fall in the first round to the--for some strange reason--highly regarded Special.

Toughest choice for me:

Face Up v. Sunrise

Potential winners:

The Perfect Kiss Age Of Consent Temptation Ceremony

Deep runs by Regret and Vanishing Point a possibility as well depending on the matchups.

Personally I wish Rocking Carol had been given a chance.

Bizarrely, Cries & Whispers vs True Faith is gonna be the toughest one for me - C&W is a really underrated track, really atmospheric, strong playing by everyone, good lyrics, and benefits from being a bit of 'lost classic' so haven't listened to it nearly as much as say TF, which despite being a top tune and a bona fide classic, suffers because of over-exposure for me...

I hope this trend doesn't carry through to the Community 2 voting. :\ohwell:

Incidentally, I am having to play lots of the NO songs first before I vote as I cannot match titles with tracks in my head.

Finally, the first round has been torturous enough on some of the votes. It's going to be agony in the later rounds.

Run Wild vs Ceremony

ha ha ha 0:100

You never know!!! Ceremony might get 1 vote

I quite like the soundtrack

OK, I forgot the soundtrack. Tell you what we'll do, we'll replace Sister Ray with it, how's that?

someone's going to get a lot of "threads started" on the proper forum out of this!

I cannot believe Fine Time lost to As It Was When It Was...

me either. new order's genius is right in fine time and many people dont see it. Yes arrogant i know, but i think 'turn' would beat fine time and that would be a travesty.

The finalist will probably include Crystal, Temptation, Waiting For the Siren's Call, or Cerimony. Stuff they're play all the time anyway. Not my choices but those are usually the songs or type of songs that win these types of polls.

Of course the songs you list above may draw each other in the very next round! Could anyone accurately say what will definitely happen in a Ceremony vs Temptation match? Or True Faith, BLT and Perfect Kiss?

When are the next polls due to be posted ?

Spooky, just came here to post exactly the same question...

I'll put the next 8 up tomorrow night. I'm away from home at the moment and on a dial-up, and it takes ages to even look at pages on this site at the moment, let alone creating new polls.

I'll second that...this set of polls has revitalised the way I listen to NO music... Why do I like that track ... That track has'nt sounded better in years .. etc. Thanks once again for your hard work oldmonkey

Bastards :(

Too Late and Liverpool both out on the same night.

2 right mate

wheres do the osterich

Evening all.

Is the Young Offender vs Dream Attack thread going to be started soon. There are 'battles' surrounding (either side of it in the order) it that have started, yet I can't seem to find this one..

They start and finish when I feel like it! I just decided to change the order a bit, particularly as there weren't many classics in last night's 8 matches, I figured it made sense to bring the EGG poll forward a couple of nights.

Have you thought about a job at Sky Sports, Monkey.

I have indeed. They haven't though.

How many more games left?

Of course I could work it out myself but it's a particularly sunny day here in POA and there's an awful lot of beer in the fridge...

maybe you use a seeded system for the next round based on the percentage of yes votes. Some songs deserve a bye, and shouldnt go so early.

Who's to say what should be a seed though? We all have different favourites, if I had picked the seeds you can bet that someone else wouldn't be happy at this or that.....the way I've done it is the fairest, it is purely the luck of the draw who gets what, the same way that it is in the FA Cup. No seeds, no advantage, pure balls out of the bag stuff.

I've just loaded all the results up, and done a test draw for the next round to see it all works out(putting in a prediction for the ones not finished yet), and you won't believe three of the ties in the next round! Just like the FA Cup, this ;)
