... and why?
Arguably the "hidden gems" of Get Ready and WFTSC, so I thought it would make a nice debate.
A little reminder:
And no, it's not a poll about videos.

I'll be honest, I haven't heard 'Primitive Notion' yet, so I can't really, erm, put my two cents into this... yet.

Nico, you're most kind. Thank you, SIR!
While I've been quite a huge fan of 'Turn' [as in, love at first listen!], it's quite a treat to hear something like 'Primitive Notion'. I like both of them really, kinda sad there's no 'Both' option. :p
That said, and probably knowing from experience, my fave is still 'Turn'! 
primitive notion by a country mile--love the JD action.
Turn boring american sounding alternative rock song...

Don't even get me goin' there...
:p
Primitive Notion is a good tune....with a lot of energy, even the lyrics are not bad.
but my vote goes to Turn, it's an amazing song, not boring or like any american alternative rock song.

should i?? well...unless it looks different
Primitive Notion would have fit perfectly on Unknown Pleasures, with Ian's voice instead of Barney's. Turn is in the line of Technique. I definitely can't decide: it's like choosing between JD and NO.
Turn, like all the best NO tracks (well apart from Temptation and TPK) simple but effective... Like PN, but if I had to go for a standout track off G (Crystal aside, natch) it'd have to be Vicious Streak...

As I've already posted on another thread,Turn is vastly overrated on here IMO,just don't get it at all,just seems to be a MOR boring,lazy,someone-else-by-numbers song.Very happy it wasn't released as a single either,tho' it would give Shitstream a run for it's money as the shiteist N.O. single ever.
Primitive Notion on the other hand is definately one of Get Readys' hidden gems,a definate grower & very N.O.

i don't think so !!
Turn is probably in my Top 5 neworder tracks, I have been playing it constantly since the album came out. 
Primitive Notion is a cracking track but not half as good.

Vicious streak. I always play that on the (very) rare occasion I play Get ready. Out of the other two Turn is probably better... But it's like having to choose a favourite between maggots and snails? 
These 2 great songs are amongst my favourites from the last 2 albums and it's a good question Nic.
I'd have to go for PN though. Initially, that 'in your face' bass grabs me but it's the JD drumming that seals the deal.
Gotta give this one to Turn, Spotty. I'm a bigger fan of WFTSC than GR anyways. Of course, I still think GR is class though.
No contest - Primitive Notion. The best thing since Regret.
Turn is just another drive time yawn
I love them both and it's a very tough call for me, turn is just a fantsatic song, great lyrics, melody and structure, but not much hooky, so PN wins, just, because it has more trademark hooky bass.
