Really? I voted for Age of Consent because is the first PCL song that comes to my mind when I play my guitar. I love singing it!

I'm a loner for now.. but Your Silent Face is my favorite... the music is AMAZING.

Don't get me wrong, I like Leave Me Alone a lot.. Age of Consent is good, but I don't like Bernard's singing on it...

Very tough deciding on the big 3. All were worthy but Your Silent Face is perfect NewOrder.

Blue Monday comes as a bonus track on some versions of PCL (American releases on Qwest if I'm not wrong), but it wasn't part of the original release (neither on vynil nor on CD). On a very similar way, Love Vigilantes is not part of Retro, though future releases might include it for commercial purposes :D

Used to like KW1 but am Pig Sick of hearing it now. That's what overkill does for you.

Age of Consent for me, I'm afraid. There'd be a riot if they ever performed this one again. . .

Ecstasy gets my vote. I'm sure there'd be a collective 'HUH' if they ever did perform it live.

Funny how nobody has voted for We All Stand !

This should actually spawn a new poll - the worst of New Order !

Age of consent has everything I love about New Order -

  • Hooky's driving, powerful bass
  • Barney's poetic love lines and guitar solo's
  • Steves robotic / energetic drumming
  • Gillian's synth sound

It's a classic New Order - New Order song - Your Silent Face sounds more like Kraftwerk - New Order

I actually like We all stand. Better the Peel version than the PCL, it´s true. But a nice song indeed.

Word!

But I'm also quite fond of Leave Me Alone so it's a toss up

AGE OF CONSENT IS HOW YOU DEFINE NEW ORDER. I'll probably turn my self inside out if they ever play it live when I'm there.

yeah, "Age of Consent" is New Order in a nutshell (i hate that cliche). Bernard's style of lyrics (serious? toungue in cheek? meaningful? meaningless? all of the above! classic.) Stevie Morris's urgent percussion! The classic style Hooky bass! Bernard's classic nervous guitar style! Countered perfectly with the emotional synths! All in one song.

Leave me Alone is great. Your Silent Face is great. i always like the 5.8.6. on the Peel sessions better, but you gotta love the end with toy piano solo, the beats, exhaustedly coming to an stop. and the bizarre inappropiate bass noise at the beginning, the excitment of messing around in the studio.

Leave Me Alone was my pick.

I won't go on about it in my usual fashion because it's PCL, my favorite New Order album and I love almost every song and I could go on forever. I voted for Age of Consent, pure bliss! Probably the first New Order song I ever heard and I still can't comprehend the peculiar magical feeling this song incuces. Great bassline, great guitar parts, lovely synth parts, beautiful in every way, even Barney's whoop isn't too bad here.

But I have to mention The Village (so vibrant!) and Ultraviolence (fabulous rhythms, Steve is so fantastic), and the oft-mentioned KW1 and Leave Me Alone (beautiful guitar, Barney is a perfectly fine guitar player as far as I'm concerned.)

Oops, I did go on and on :yawn:

I dunno, I really like Ecstasy for some reason, interesting to listen to, then Leave Me Alone is so amazing, great way to end the album. (I try to turn it off before The Beach)

It's got to be Age of consent. If only for the bassline. They must play this live on the next tour.
