Best NO song ever!

For me, its a three-way tie between Jetstream, Rock the Shack, and Blue Monday '88...
Bet I had some of you going. Depending on my mood, my favorite is either Temptation or Ceremony--and, limited to one choice, I'd go with Ceremony.

Dream Atrack Shream Attack!
This was done 'properly' 2-3 months ago (am sure someone can wade back through the threads to find it) with everyone sticking in their top 10 tracks, in order, and results collated accordingly.
Temptation, Ceremony and Perfect Kiss pissed it in the top 3 positions.
Am sure everyone's got their individual favourites but, surely, as a collective these are always gonna walk a group vote amongst us?! Three of the best songs ever written, IMO.
Temptation (before they started re-recording it).
Second place goes to the entire Lowlife album.
Think the quintessential N.O.track is probably TPK 12",it's the ultimate mesh of everything that is N.O.;guitars & electronics,technology,tune,rock & dance,Hooky bassline & fuck-off aural assault of an ending.
BUT....it has to be Blue Monday doesn't it,just because of what it is & what it has become? I mean,outside of us N.O. worshippers,the song is bigger than the band,nothing like it existed before it came along,so for that,it must be?

Procession if I have to choose a best one.
Other favourites are Temptation and Regret. "Guilty pleasure" favourite is Krafty, because I heard it on the radio in a sandwich shop and I thought "This isn't that good, but I still love it." That's when I realised I was really getting into New Order (now everyone say 'Aaaaaah'.)
Can I change my vote to Ceremony?
What have you started....I probably won't be able to sleep now, weighing up the options, getting up at 3am to change my vote again and all that.
Am I taking this too seriously perhaps?
...personal choice(s): bizarre love triangle, followed by regret & blue monday, then love vigilantes.![]()
ALL DAY LONG.The best ending to a New Order song ever,fantastic Hooky bass,with a bit
of a country and western guitar riff in the middle from the Barnster.Awesome![]()
