Age of Consent is great. ...But I find The Village and Leave me alone equally great. My first pick from PCL is The Village though.

It's the DOG'S BOLLOCKS! Not only is it the best bass riff Hooky's ever made,but it's the best bass riff ever.

err..... followed closely by Cure's PRIMARY and Grandmaster Flash's WHITE LINES of course!

Hi

I figure I may as well say something on my behalf.

As usual I post a topic which gets antagonized by the loud minority of posters on this board. That's fine with me. I'm used to it. I myself chuckled at some of the criticisms of this post......Let's review

"He only posts threads which are meant to invoke discussion"

-Hmm. Isn't that the point of any thread. To have a discussion about it? This is a message board where we discuss the band we love. Would you rather I post a boring thread which doesn't do anything for anybody? Sorry, don't think i'm going to do that. Not intentionally at least.

"He never contributes to already existing threads"

-All I can say about that is that it is just not true. If you actually read the threads you would find plenty that I've commented on. These days I comment more on already existing threads than start my own! That I never contribute to other threads is just purely wrong....Read other posts and you'll find my input.

(parody of a criticism) "How can you even think about considering AOC to be overrated!!!!"

-I'm sorry that I'm an individual and that i have a mind of my own. I'm sorry that some songs don't do it for me that they do for you. Also, if you got my post, it was a point-counterpoint thread giving arguments for both why it is great or underrated, as I'm just a bit not sure. I like AOC quite a bit, but it's not one of my favorite NO songs. I much prefer Way Of Life, Weirdo, Sooner Than You Think, Vanishing Point, and Guilt Is A Useless Emotion....Some posters are exhibiting a pure "herd mentality" that if you hold an opinion different of the majority than you're a "twat"....Well sorry people, some of you may be sheep. I certainly am not.

I've gotten love from this board as well as criticism. It just seems that the people who criticize are the few who are the most vocal. To those who actually contributed to this thread with their opinion and kept it professional and not personal, I thank you for that (that includes you Tim, I enjoyed your response a lot). To those to bashed me simply because they wanted to seem cool on the message board and feel better about themselves, keep hating! That's all you know how to do anyway.

Well, it's great, but not their best by any means.

It's great. Esp. against the rest of PCL. Sort of like Dreams never end sort of stands apart in Movement.

somebody tell MLANH to blow it out his ass...oh wait...I'll do it...MLANH...blow it out your frigging ass...

You have to be, what's the word I'm looking for here...oh, I've got it...STUPID to have to ask a question like this if you spend much time wandering around this place...AOC is the ONE FUCKING song that most of the Vikings would like to see brought back to the set...

I believe I recall hearing one Shug screaming out

AGE OF FUCKING CONSENT...but I could be wrong...

So yes, it's good...most of us love it, and we really don't give a shit what you think about it...

and you can call us haters if you so desire...I'll still tell you to blow it out your ass, and then go have a beer and forget about you until you write something else stupid....

One of their few songs that could wake the dead. Never overrated and sorely missed on the live set.

To be fair some of the abuse MLANH gets is over the top (even if his rubbish threads do invite it)

I think That may have been Doctor Martin Fradley Phd, pillar of the community, and keeper of our children's future intellect.

I believe the exact term was:

"AGE OF CON-FUCKING-SENT"

I just listened to PC&L from beginning to end for the first time in ages. I can confirm Age of Consent is the best opening track to a New Order album.

In my most humble opinion, AOC is so great that I listen to it every day, when I get off of work. It actually brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. I get a good laugh out of it [particularly the lyrics!], and I can sing along to it and just have a ball. I love that song!

In fact, I'm listening to it right now! :D

[Did that once, and Dad thought I lost my mind. I just laughed and said 'I lost control again!' He never questioned my dancing again.]
