Favorite New Order Album Track

Oh, I have another question: why aren't "YSF" and "Temptation" on the DVD: surely it can't be because of performance quality???

Can someone do me a copy of the radio broadcast, pur-lease!?!?!?!?

Originally posted by martin fradley What AWOL list???!!?? (Hi Bud!!)I've been in Harrogate, N. Yorks: which is, believe it or not, the Beverley Hills of northern England. Unfortunately, I've had no internet access......until now, that is.Can someone answer my questions hidden above, ie: does "Retro" (which is pretty good, IMHO) have the '82 "Temptation" and is the Finsbury DVD out on 2/12 or 9/12???On a vaguely related note, my sister has just started writing for the stude paper at Lancaster Uni, and recently attended a meeting wherein records were being distributed for free. Lo and behold, up comes "Retro" which goes as a freebee to anyone willing to write a 300-word review. So my sis looks round at the assembled 18 year olds in Vines and Sum 41 t-shirts and thinks "well, that's my big brother's Xmas present sorted, 'cos no-one in here knows who New Order are". However, in an "I'm Spartacus!!" situation, EVERYONE wants the Order promo box set, and eventually it get given to some spotty undergrad geek who probably listens to Slipknot.A tale of woe, I'm sure you'll agree. Still, at least London are working hard on promoting it if it's going to every student union in the country.........Anyway, a belated "hi" ta all and sundry. And Clive - no, I don't want to talk about it......

Welcome back Frads. Get the vid back OK? Your sister gets absolutely no bonus points whatsoever for letting Retro go without copying it first!!

Well, if you will employ Tony "hopeless" Pulis as manager.... Albion have got 7 out of the last 9, which is Championship form in anyone's book I had the entire Derby County squad cross the road infront of me on Saturday morning. They were going back to their hotel after a jog along the seafront. Good job Gregory wasn't with them, as my foot just might have slipped on the accelerator.

Wow...well, there are a lot of NO songs I like from each of the albums...but from this list, I'll say "Dream Attack". It has the best balance of "traditional" rock and "electronic" music elements, and it is a good example of New Order's innovative musical style.

Also, I picked that because I didn't see "1963" or "Perfect Kiss" on there. (Yes, I know that "1963" is a single, but it was ALSO on Disc 2 of "Substance - 1987". "Perfect Kiss" was also on "Substance" as well as the first album for it to appear on, "Low-Life".)

Okay, I'll shut up now. :)

being a derby fan...it would have been nice for you to have ran gregory down......during the beachfront jog did they stop at a couple of greasy spoons

No disrepect to Derby, but Gregory always slags us at every opportunity. Just because we took him on and won over Gareth Barry. They played well, though neither side produced much in the way of shots on goal. A draw would have been a fairer result, but given our recent form I was happy with all 3 points.

I guess I'd better get back on topic, so Dreams Never End it is.

Crystal gets my nod, but only because its the highest ranking song of an album that was listed, IMHO. Confused by that sentance? So am I.

I'm sure we did this a year ago and Age of Consent romped home in the PC&L poll?

Sunrise or Age of Consent, but neither are listed. So will have to go with Dreams Never End - the one which Hooky sings like a shouting Australian.

That is quite correct Al, but since then there was a Major's review or Huntsy thread about "Leave me alone" and I think that changed many nooliners' position on the relative merits of both songs.

Well, actually, I think I have been a more consistent proponent of LMA than our beloved Mr. H has been; he has recently suggested that he might prefer TMW.

regret.

i paraphrase myself (liberally) from another thread: if it was just a twenty second song with the opening synth and guitar riff, it would still send shivers down my spine.

5 8 6!!!

oh wait...

Leave Me Alone - simple track but brilliant

Leave Me Alone just ahead of Dream Attack. They are my favourite NO songs behind True Faith and Procession.

dream attack!

:D:D:D:D anita

and still no regrets

This Time of Night has just got something special about it...i think its one of the most unique new order tracks.

I agree that TTON is very good; for me, however, LMA is unbeatable.

Dreams Never End, it's a close contest between several songs, but the title swings it Dreams Never End's way.

However, I've experienced that different songs ment more to me during different times in my life, so my favourite song would possibly be another one, say, five or ten years ago.

THIS TIME OF NIGHT!!!

Best song ever!!

Seeing as though there's no Age Of Consent, my vote goes to Leave Me Alone.

Glad to see LMA seems to be gaining.

Should be re-named Leave Me In Last Place. What say you Patty Cakes??

Look fettle pipe pop pickers, it has to be Dreams Never End. It represents the era when there was still anger and energy in the band. They had a great big 'FUCK OFF' aura about them in those days, an intensity and brilliance that has sadly vanished and turned into dull padestrianism.

I say someone seems to have been manipulating the results.

Since you have discovered a way to cast multiple votes, that pretty much makes this whole polling exercise on whatever subject completely pointless, doesn't it?

Yes, but i'm just a simple Moonbeast and i've got to have my fun. A few ripples in the water makes it much more interesting to look at. Besides we're all wise enough to know that Slow Jam is the REAL best album track. Everybody say YEAH!!

What's so good about Dream Attack? there's more stronger tracks on Technique....

Leave Me Alone it is!
