Just got into New Order - Best songs?

I just found out about New Order a few weeks ago. So far my favorites are Crystal, True Faith, and Turn My way. I know this is pretty newbiesh, but can I have some people tell me what the best songs are? If the song is already said, say the song that you feel is the second best. This way, I wont have 20 people say the same song. Thanks. :)

Welcome to the site, it is not bad to ask for some pointers on where you should explore next All of the album Technique is good quality, probably New Order at its height.

substance is a good overview of their pre-technique shit (both volumes, though).

You have to start somewhere, right? My favorites are Leave Me Alone, Sunrise, Broken Promise, Procession, Ceremony, True Faith, 1963, Vanishing Point, Special, Everyone Everywhere, Primitive Notion, Crystal, Vicious Streak, Here To Stay

Have fun discovering a wonderful band!

I think besides the mentioned the whole album of Low Life is pretty awesome especially Love Vigilanties and This time of night, Well all of the albums are really great!

Some of their b-sides that are great are Don't do it and Every little counts (pretty funny), behind closed doors (from Crystal),Best and Marsh, and 1963.

Off the new album some to try are Someone like you (one of my favorites), Primitive Notion, Vicious Streak, oh the whole album is great.

Some others to try: Paradise Brutal State of the nation Temptation (wonderful track) Dreams never end Your silent face (also GREAT live!!!!!!!!!!!) Leave me alone Everyone Everywhere Regret Spooky Times Change Ruined in a day Special (Wonderful!!!!!!)

If I really think about it there are very few songs that I don't like. They are just a really great band! I really don't think you will be disappointed.

You should also try their side projects, my favorite is Electronic and a good album to start off with would be Raise The Pressure.

Good luck and welcome to the NewOrder family!

I'd probably listen to Movement last ... I like Movement ... But I think their other releases are a little easier to get into ... As mentioned above, try listening to Substance.

my favorite song is the perfect kiss (fac 123) age of consent regret i love also mr disco from technique from movement "it's a strange day, and such a lonely way, i saw some children dance, i saw my life in a trance". what a cool moody song. reminds me of the eternal somewhat.

welcome your in good company here...

get all the music, you will probably find that you will like just about all of it...

Substance is a good way to get exposed, like was mentioned above, to the "older" stuff; and best of, rest of albums also are pretty good in there own way too

ENJOY

BTW, Shugzy...did you get the posters?

Thanks all! I got a good list of music to download now. (dont worry, I usually buy the CDs afterwards ;)) And to whoever mentioned by name. Thanks for the 10/10, but its my real name actually. :D hehe

You lucky, lucky fellow.

If you havn't heard all new order's suff your in for a treat. There are so many great tracks I dont know where to start. Get the Technique album for a start every single track is an absoulte corker! realy great "fine time" "round and round" "Mr. Disco" the track which goes "Grow up children don't you suffer at the hands of one another" - sorry I'm too drunk at the moment to remember what it's called - new order never make it easy to rember the name of thier tracks!!!! - blue monday!!! - christ what a tune - then you've got all JOY DIVISON tracks to listen to! "love will tare us apart" "atmosphere" "decades" jesus christ buy the "closer" album its fantastic - "1963" which is the b-side of true faith unbelieve-ablely-fucking ace. I got into them when i was 18 and had a shit load of their back catalog to get through - so much great stuff - the best group in the world bar none - promise me you'll get the Technique album it really is fan-bleeding-tastic.

Dodgy grammer Dan but i agree totally, but whatever you do yellow magic orcestra boy steer clear of Republic

Repubic - is poor by New Order standards - but "Regret" is fantastic - one of the best singles they have ever done - sorry about my grammar and spelling but I went to very crappy school and am a bit thick like.

yeah, you should definately look into joy division if you haven't already (i was into joy division before i even willingly sat through an entire new order song, but that's just me). unknown pleasures is more accessable, but closer is better. find live videos if you can!!!!

oh and after that you can listen to WARSAW

oh there's too many to name (all the standard ones people have mentioned. perfect kiss especially). but good luck unearthing them all cuz when you discover a band this good, it's like buried treasure.
