Rock the Shack - Need I say anything?

Wow. I've never known anyone to be so totally wrong before.

Er, Joy Division?
1- Everything that was butchered at the "Monaco" gig last year 2- Everything that was butchered at Scouse in 2006 3- Everything else that was butchered during 2005 and 2006.
The Oakenfold mix of True Faith sounded dated a week after it came out in 94 - sounds ghastly played live.
The current live version of BLT starts like it's going to kick right in like the 12" mix, then it, just.....doesn't - Barney starts singing and it sounds like they're missing a few synths in the mix.
Sounds crap.

Didn't realize it was a Velevet Underground song (never cared for the group)... Figured it was a JD song since it was on Still.
Either way, Barney still tore that song apart....

Absolute classic is Sister Ray, all 17 minutes.

I just find it uncomfortable hearing NO play over a poor Chems B side.
Like a marriage of two GREAT people going seriously wrong at the altar.

What, just because it's Joy Division it's supposed to be good? People will blast me for saying this, but I think that Ian's version was quite horrible.
I'm surprised so many people dislike State Of The Nation. I do like the vocal melody of the song, but don't like the music much. I still don't think it's one of NO's worst.

Well, the JD version was pretty much an unoffical half arsed cover version live. Velvet Underground was obviously one of their inpirations along side Stooges, Can, etc...

I guess I'd have to hear the original... which I haven't... but the JD version is miles ahead of the NO version... I took one listen and was racing to turn it off.... the JD version isn't all that bad.... but the NO needs to be erased from all memory
Maybe Im in the minority but I prefere Shellshock, State of The Nation and Subculture to anything off Republic and Get Ready (except for Regret and Crystal of course).
My bottom 3 would be something like:
Working Overtime Every Second Counts The Him
There's definately a pattern forming here...not looking too good for Rock The Shack & Working Overtime is it...God bless all of you,faith restored...but what's this? SOTN & TLU ?!!! You bastards,fookin' leave 'em alone 
Working Overtime Rock The Shack And the last one goes to 1 of 4 or 5 tracks from the Rest of..
Never really cared for RUINED IN A DAY DRACULA'S CASTLE saved only by Hooky's bass,but still.. SHELLSHOCK ,never warmed to this,it's always sounded like a HEAVEN 17 out-take.
Bubbling under...DUBVULTURE

I love how you preface your comment with that and then proceed to list like 100 tracks, ha ha. (though I agree with pretty much all your choices 
<-- don't really know what this smiley means but I think it's underused, everyone should start using it more)
yeah, all my top candidates have already been mentioned. (sadly though, I feel like almost anything from the last two albums is a contender for me)
can we just go ahead and award the worst-song-ever trophy to Jetstream...?
There's definitely songs i don't like right at the moment, and probably never will, like Chemical and I Told You So, and why did they get Ana Matronic to sing on a piece of shite like Jetstream.
But i think given time some will grow on you, like Every Little Counts, first i was WTF? but know its so hilarious.
And whoever said Blue Monday can lick my balls
EL Jarvo got it spot on, my worst as well,
Doubts Even Here Liar Young Offender could maybe add chemical.
Worst single must be shellshock. Spoils substance as without this track surely the best collection of songs ever.
Surprised at some answers, theives like should be top 3 ever not bottom 3. Also I've always loved every second counts and Krafty. Still shows the range of NO music that some fans think what the worst track is whilst others think its the best
