New Orders signature tune.....

Hurts to admit but Blue Monday IS New Order in my neck of the woods haha. Defo. I know cause a mate of mine (cool chick btw and I love her much) asked me once: What was that band you’re obsessed with again? (which was a weird question to ask cause I probably talk about the band most of the time). Then went searching through her iPod collection and found BM there. I think my grandma has heard about BM too. Well I’ll ask her sometime. BM is everywhere, even in my local pub being played right after the Pet Shop Boys – It’s a sin, haha.
And for those better informed NO is (in order):
Blue Monday True Faith Regret
Proud of myself that I heard TF first and remember not liking it back then. :)
From everyone's responses, it seems to depend on where you live or had lived. In America, the general public identifies BLT as NO's most identifiable song, in my opinion. So my answer is BLT, BM just seems like an exercise in early disco mainly using drum machines and lumped together with Georgio Moroder (sp?)and kraftwerk which sparked trance/house music as we know it. Not to take anything away from BM's weight and importance.

defin.- It's a Sin. hugely mixed Blue Monday. may be the only tune that have ever heard being played at all. in the last years.
and that's only on a weekend dance portion. which is a sad joke because the DJ first yabbles over and through the first honest couple minutes.. out of Man- c --- legendary Nu - O dah from --.(pls. shh)
for recognizable Tempation could be a tops. but Ceremony, Hurt , Shellshock. seem almost to be what NO are.
Just asked the missus which songs come to mind for her - True Faith, then Temptation (from Trainspotting soundtrack), then Regret...
