It seems such an obvious thing to do that it's probably been done here before my time but anyway,as it was the first New Order collection of songs I ever owned on vinyl it still means the most to me. So here in order of preference is my 1 to 12.
1 True Faith 2 The Perfect Kiss 3 Bizarre Love Triangle 4 Temptation 5 Thieves Like Us 6 Blue Monday 7 Ceremony 8 Everything's Gone Green 9 Shellshock 10 State Of The Nation 11 Subculture 12 Confusion
I'm a sucker for this kind of thing, but I'm said ain't I. So...
1 True Faith (watershed) 2 The Perfect Kiss (looonnnggg) 3 Temptation (for the 'eyes' bit and 'cos it was the start of it all) 4 Thieves Like Us (for peeing all over stablemate Confusion) 5 Bizarre Love Triangle (would be higher but for Shep Petty-boner) 6 Ceremony (original please) 7 EGG (love those synth waves, esp live, what a tart I was for not making its re-emergence in Torin 2005) 8 Subculture (again, shame about the mix. Though I love the end of DubVulture on headphones) 9 Confusion (aptly-titled) 10 Shellshock (all of the Perfect Kiss's complexity, none of its direction. File under 'Revenge') 11 Blue Monday (NOT AGAIN!!!) 12 State Of The Nation (only saved by the bass. Sheetee lyrics even by Bernard's standards)
