Odd Man Out....They think it's all over. It is now!

I thought they only invented SOUP IN A BASKET!

Okay then folks, better dust off this teaser for what I hope will be one of the last times before a life in confinement with nappies an' feedin' bottles an' cribs beckons for the long haul.... ;)

As a tribute to the good old chart run-downs of yore I will now recap through all the correct answers and the brainy folks who posted them before I leave you with the last - as yet still unanswered - final Question 10 to ponder over.....

1 New Order / Happy Mondays / Joy Division / Revenge ??

A. = REVENGE. They never had any hits. Correctly answered by Chris Nash.

2 Arthur Baker / Martin Hannett / Steve Osborne / John Robie ??

A. = MARTIN HANNETT. The only one to produce both Joy Division and New Order. Correctly answered by Chris Nash

3 Fac 73 / Fac 83 / Fac 93 / Fac 103 ??

A. = FAC 83. The others were New Order singles, whilst this was the number for a poster for the Hacienda's 1st Birthday. Correctly answered by both Ricardo Fernandes and Green.

4 Movement / Brotherhood / Technique / Substance ??

A. = TECHNIQUE. The only one of the four that was NOT issued in the special Factory white cassette box edition on its initial release. Unfortunately none of you got the answer to this one I was seeking, but special mentions to a few of you who supplied highly capable alternative reasons for this particular album being the odd one out.

5 John Thomson / The Stone Roses / Ralf Little / Caroline Aherne ??

A. = JOHN THOMSON. The rest were all in some way directly linked with Peter Hook. Ralf Little played him in 24 HPP, Caroline Aherne was once married to him, The Stone Roses had a single produced by him. Well done to Old Blue for getting that one!

6 Making Out / Reportage / Clocking Off / Common As Muck ??

A. = CLOCKING OFF. The others all had music written by The Other Two or members of New Order. Correctly answered by Old Blue and the Rocket Mickster

7 Regret / (The Rest Of) New Order / Power Corruption & Lies / True Faith ??

A. = (THE REST OF) NEW ORDER. The others all peaked at number 4 in the UK Charts - The Rest Of only getting to no. 5 on its reissue as a companion to (The Best Of) Well done to ShugZV for gettin' this one.

8 Ceremony / Bizarre Love Triangle / Touched By The Hand Of God / Atmosphere ??

A. = CEREMONY. No video made for this single. Correctly answered by Chris Nash.

9 Primal Scream / Flowered Up / The Charlatans / Faith No More ??

A. = FLOWERED UP. The others all had singles or albums sharing titles with New Order album tracks: Primal Scream - Vanishing Point; Charlatans - Weirdo; Faith No More - Angel Dust. Correctly answered by Bart Dupré.

......and so there we have it!!

Honourable mentions must also go to Easy E, Huntsman and Al Jarvis for their valiant attempts at unravelling the answers.

But champion of the entire teaser so far has to be CHRIS NASH for getting three correct answers and three "almost correct" solutions as well into the bargain! Well done that man!

So.....who's going to do the honours and excel themselves in gettin' the final remaining - albeit rather cheeky - poser then?

Here it is again....

10 New Order / Happy Mondays / Joy Division / Revenge ??

Which one is the ODD MAN OUT and why??

Clue: "Chicken In A Basket"

See yers at the finishin' line..... and this time it's final!!! ;)

Originally posted by Chris Nash It's 02:40 and I'm still thinking about #10.21 days without sleep... ... Hubert me boy, I hope your new kid exacts the correct 'REVENGE' on our behalf.Congratulations mate!

Cheerz me aad marra .... the "revenge" exacted by our Thom is sweet all right - he's only got us runnin' aroond as a result of his clivvor way of gettin' through more nappies per day than ye could shake a rattle at! (check the other thread elsewhere!). And however did ye guess that I had 21 days withoot sleep, man? Are you a psychic now an' all?? ;) :D

Anyway - back ta the nitty gritty - your psychic powers have failed to secure you that elusive last answer unfortunately. Good try though. Looks like all the other buggers have aal but given up on this teaser now...

Keep it comin', trooper!

Happy Mondays - no inscriptions on run-out grooves.

This page took AGES to load!! Anyway - I'll give it another shot. is it JOY DIVISION ? The others made it to the USA?? Hmmmm....

Originally posted by the perfect kiss dammit Karl...that is indeed a brilliant answer...don't know if it's what he's looking for...but I'll give you a big up for that one!!!!

Hadn't I already said that further up ?

Has nobody else tried to fathom out this last answer yet? I'm intrigued now as to what it could possibly be... if it isn't what I have suggested already. Where has the thread starter gone, doesn't he check in here to see if anyone's got the correct answer or anything?

Oh well..... :(

Originally posted by Karl Gregory This page took AGES to load!! Anyway - I'll give it another shot. is it JOY DIVISION ? The others made it to the USA?? Hmmmm....

Well it appears you got the right band - but the wrong reason why it's Joy Division. C'mon everyone, what's wrong with ye all? I disappear for a few weeks and STILL no one has bothered to unravel this last one - Chris Nash - I'm countin' on YOU to clinch this, but you've been conspicuous by your absence here.... ;)

...how disappointing - call yerself JD/NO fans??

I may have my reasons to not be here as often as I used ta be, but you folks have got naa excuse - you're not tryin' hard enough! So come on, let's put this fookah ta bed!!

is it that Joy Division never had a women/women backing singers..??

sorry DoH!.....woman/women backing singer/s

is it that the Mondays never played the Paradiso in Amsterdam?

Well I'm not much of a trivia buff by any means - but I've just scoured this thread with interest....

if Joy Division is the right pick could it have something to do with the fact that there were never any dance remixes of Joy Divsion songs? I presume Revenge had some remixes releasedas well.

Actually, I've just remembered...wasn't "Love Will Tear Us Apart" rereleased in 1996 in a new version called "Permenent Mix" ? There was also a new Joy Division compilation around the same time. Maybe that now discounts my earlier answer above.... oh well...

Is the answer anything to do with food? Its a total guess but New Order have a song called Slow Jam, Revenge have Pineapple Face and Happy Mondays have Judge Fudge or even Tart Tart. Therefore the odd one out would be Joy Division.

Well, you could be onto something there Loraine - after all further back a clue was given - it said "Chicken In a basket" - so that suggests something to do with food surely? The signs are that this last answer is a trick answer so we're probably looking at something a bit off the wall... I still think it's something to do with remixes though - it's niggling at the back of my head.

Joy Division - no remixes... surely???

Sorry for straying a bit off topic but I had been away for a while and had not realised me ole namesake's son Thom had already come into being.

CONGRATS HUBERT & CHARLEY!

All the best for the four of you and my best wishes of peace and happyness for little Thomas.

Didn't Joy Division have a song about fishmarkets though ? Dead Soles anyone :D

Now THAT is funny mate!!

But I still stand by my remixes suggestion ... when are we going to bet some more clues or hints?

Right - I'll give it another shot... If Joy Division are now the odd ones out, could the reason be that they alone have only had a BOX SET released to date? Seeing as we're still waiting for the definitive New Order one.

Is that answer obvious enough? Or am I pissing in the wind again...?

Blaady hell..... two months away and over 2000 views of this thread, yet naa-one has managed to work out what the last answer is!! I'm ganna have ta trawl through the last few replies and set everyone straight before considering revealing the elusive last answer to Question number 10......

Originally posted by howard lord is it that Joy Division never had a women/women backing singers..??

Hmmm, I see your point, but not the answer I was looking for sadly....

Originally posted by Mark McKellar-Harding is it that the Mondays never played the Paradiso in Amsterdam?

Wrong band I'm afraid!

That's pretty close, but not the right reason....

Interesting slant on the whole thing there Lorraine, but sadly it's another case of right band, wrong reason!

It's too obvious, and sadly not the right answer....

Aw coom on everyone..... why d' ya think Joy Division is the Odd Man Out?? "Chicken In A Basket" was the clue..... Some lateral thinking would then suggest that if all these four bands had to ref.......

does this have something to do with the 'kentucky fried chicken' reference in 24 HPP in the factory boardroom, which featured the 'leaders' of revenge, new order and happy mondays, but not joy division, i.e. hooky, barney, and shaun ryder, but not ian? (erm, i think hooky and barney were in that scene )

just a shot in the dark.... :D
