.... It seems to get frequently overlooked :(
Most people acknowledge it as a quality piece of NewOrder but despite being played to death live it still manages to do it everytime for me!!
So i thought i start a thread singing its praises!! :D
just sign below if u rate BLT !
Doesn't get overlooked by The Shugster! most people on here love it
And if you get yer arse in gear, and get to the next NOO night out - we'll get it played in a nightclub - that's just how influential the group IS - No Dj's gonna turn down The New Order Onliner's
Its one of my favorites. It is actually the song that got me into new order in the first place a couple of years ago.

I'll do my best matey!!

Still if anyones up for a smoke then thats another matter... hehe 
talking of toking.. is it me or did 24hPerson Coogan spend the ENTIRE film smoking spliffs??!!
I love BLT (song not sandwich being a momentarily lapsed vegetarian ;) ) Although my fave song usually changes frequently, I always go back to this as being my one of my ultimate fave's - the other being AOC.
If the next NOOL shandy fest is in Brum I could almost guarantee it WILL get played (so long as I can remain upright long enough :o) and it would be nice as I'm normally the only one left on the dancefloor leaping around like a freak. :(
AGREED TOP TUNE....IT SOUNDS BETTER IN A CLUB WHEN YOU ARE SHITFACED...DID THEY PLAY IT IN THE BLUE NOTE ON YOUR NIGHT OUT IN DERBY...THE DJ NORMALLY DOES IN THERE EVEN WITHOUT THREATS TO HIS LIFE....NOT A MASSIVE FAN OF IT LIVE..BUT A CRATE OF RED STRIPE, A HEAVING DANCE FLOOR!!!!

They certainly did mate;) Fookin top night that was, bit of LWTUA / Regret and others (too pissed at the time to remember much else) Danced the night away with Liv, Annie, Major & his mate Paul - when BLT came on - we couldn't believe it - we ALL went fookin banana's

nice one - it certainly beats this cardboard box in t'middle of the road - working 14 hour days and then getting thrashed wi t'broken bottle
Sounded great on the radio today at work during the lunch hour 80's flashback show, which is one of 3 NO tunes that they are playing a bit more, I've noticed, the others being Blue Monday and True Faith. Compared to the dross that is usally being aired 24/7, I absolutely never tire of hearing those songs in that context.
Besides, Brotherhood is my fave NO lp, but just barely ahead of Technique.
BLT was a hit down under, one of the few NO songs that managed down here. It was also the was i got into NO, and then Frente' did a cover and it got some more belated attention.
I can't believe this thread - It seems to get frequently overlooked?
What?! In the same way as Blue Monday and Toothache get frequently overlooked?
Surely New Order's most famous song - outside of these circles - after the two afore-mentioned tracks? Especially with our American cousins?
Used to love this one to death - short, sharp and nasty - but the drawn out wimpy version they're doing live now just doesn't cut it for me. It's no longer a track for the boys down the front (Hooky once famously dedicated this to the 'next generation of Blackburn Lads') and now more aimed at those people jigging their hips on the fringes. Shame that, but a sign of the times.

Mr Jarvo, mefinks u misunderstood me mate! Frequently overlooked as in.. everyone generally agrees its a great song but it doesnt tend to muster the tabloid type attention that BM,Tmtn,Crystal etc. undoubtably do on this forum hence this thread letting the spotlight shine on this unassuming yet important track for once... :)
Mebbe they keep playing it live cause it gives Barney a chance to ape about and dance!! ;)

That was a moment i will never forget. We all stood on the podiums in the corner of the club and shouted the lyrics to BLT until everyone left!
I used to love BLT when I was 15. Now I'm 30 and I hate it.
Why do they still play it live? It's simply horrible. Please, New Order, stop it, or learn to play it well.

Oi!!! this is a BLT appreciation thread!!
start yer own flamin' thread if want to gun it!!! ;)
BLT is a really great song. and i can say that this is so because temptation is always VERY strong to get annoyed when one hears something over and over and over and over and OVER again. as has unfortunately been the case with that song in the States.
but no matter how many times i hear it, i've never gotten annoyed with it...'cept perhaps if it's the short version! 
so yes, i would have to agree that it's a great, great song.

Well, let's say I've a bad appreciation of it :D
Original album version of this song is only SECOND to The Perfect Kiss in my list of GOOSEBUMPS moments (especially the synths at the end - just like with TPK!! ) :)
hang on hang on, aren't we forgetting something SUBCULTURE!!!
That always sounded good live although the 12" release killed it dead I still feel the low life version is fantastic!!

It has vocals that make even the most ardent revenge fan weep. I hate it. Instrumental version might be nice...
Someone must know the answer to this..
what is the film from which the clip is taken in the video ? the "your a real UP person" bit ???

I always thought it was done for the video, but I have absolutely no basis for thinking that.
it seems to be the one that usually ends up on 80s compilations. hell, i guess you could say it's the most popular new order song. anyways, i think this was the first new order song i'd heard (or was it blue monday)...i can't remember...
Ah, I love BLT, even the horribly truncated version I occassionally hear on this Eighties radio station.
Even though I hear it a lot, I never tire of it! Is truly a great song, no matter how many million times it is played!

That's what I thought too, Jeff.
