I don't know about cheesy, but I really don't like Working Overtime - I think it's absolute rubbish pants balderdash.

Cheesiest doesn't equal 'worst' in my book. Run Wild is an OK track but the lyrics are still trite to me, regardless of the sentiment behind them. That's my vote then.

As for the cheesiest soundwise, I wouldn't pick a song for that, just a particular bit that annoys me is enough. So that honour goes to the bass sequencer in Face Up.

Shellshock for me - always thought it was a bit contrived.

I think Jetstream is a cool song - one of my favourites.

A difficult one but i go for Run Wild

In this case cheese does equal worst - Liar, by a country mile... Lite, throwaway dance-pop at it's worst... I love Run Wild, ok, it may be a bit cheesy, but fair play to them for experimenting...

Agree,lyrically it makes me slightly uncomfortable.Think it's Bernard singing about god & jesus & the 'gospel' sounding backing.Of course he can sing about what he wants,just never thought god & jesus would ever be in a N.O. song.Think the cover of Vietnam is complete Camembert tho'.... :nono: :thumb:

State, worst lyrics ever, although it is still a good listen if you ignore the words.

J-E-T

Though the song did grow on me.

World In Motion.

I'm not English, so I don't see its point.

Jetstream I think it's probably one of their worse songs. I have the same feeling "My god this is so cheesy and horrible!" when I listen to PSB's (or should I say Diane Warren-penned) "Numb", by the way.

0 likes

J-E-T is the obvious choice, but I actually think we were meant to take it seriously...

:evil4:

I'd vote THTHOG, although it's an unashamedly, self conscious cheeseorama.

Why is Slow Jam not included?

JETSTREAM

Its the one track i wouldn`t play if i was trying to show someone how great New Order are.

Alot of NO stuff sounds cheesy and dated. Id vote for Liar though. Thieves like us and Perfect Kiss have some cheesy keyboard and guitar riffs but thats a by product of being 80's recorded.

Yeah, but the Face Up reference sounds like a poor 'off the shelf' Stockaitkenandwaterman line.

In any case, I had to vote JET - despite the presence of SOTN, which is quite possibly my least favourite Neworder track of all time.

No.

it's fucking brilliant! timeless perfection.

"World in Motion" ... my initial response was "is this a joke?" thou it does have its charm. "Run Wild" is just embarrassing.

If your were you would, and you really wouldn't have voted for it.

It's obviously the J-E-T thing with Anna Manthing - NO's most blatant commercial venture to date.

Shitstream.

Awful song.

For some reason, State of the Nation always struck me as New Order trying to be New Order trying to be cool. I just don't like the song, but I do like the live versions. It is completely shambolic live - a true mess....fantastic. But the studio version and song overall, i could very much do without.

all worthy of cheesiet votes, but J-E-T has to be the cheesiest, it has the cheesy lyrics, cheesy stewardess thing, and cheesy special guest vocalist.

Fine Time makes me cringe

Maybe "State of the Nation", but not the edit version!!!

My vote, were the song there, would be for Subculture John Robie annihilation. It stinks worse than camembert :thumbdown:

Of those listed, it's Shellshock for me. It's so cheesy it's crackers.

Jizzstream would be third.
