Hey! I like those last three.
Woo, I've gone from being a Young Offender to a Republican.
Hum, some people say Ceremony is the best New Order did.. so everything else after the first single isn't good enough? 
Well, it's not really a New Order song you know 
I'm glad you didn't differentiate between the two main versions of Temptation, as there will always be some who prefer the original, and there will always be sane people like me who know that the 1987 is the single greatest New Order song EVER, and its the one I've played to relatives, friends, strangers, and its got them ALL hooked on NO! So there!!

well Nic...they do say your first time is the best...not that I would always agree!!!!

Slagging someone else's opinion is a bit off isn't it? Because I prefer the 7" version, that doesn't make me insane does it?
this isn't fair. i don't think any fan should be asked this question.
i'll come back with an answer later.

Voted for Ceremony; I know, I know, you're right Nick, but it blew me away to hear it for the first time, especially live. Of course, almost all of the other choices are just a bit behind Ceremony, but I will always happily play this anytime anywhere. Temptation is #2, with TPK #3.
I must vote for "Perfect Kiss" here. That extended jam towards the end is just fucking incredible.
In the end, it's one of the first songs I heard by them, and it is probably the song that pulled me in. This one and Ceremony... it was toss off... I mean up
how is a girl ever to decide between these choices??I automatically go for Thieves Like Us as I could probably listen to it until the end of time and still get a shiver...it just encapsulates everything great about the band, nice long intro, lyrics that just fall short of silliness and somehow manage to be heartbreaking and happy. If I had to pick another it would be Dream Attack...love is not a strong enough word.
Wow
I'm totally amazed by the great number of new posters who've joined in this thread -- welcome, everyone!.
Also, we now have 124 votes at the moment I speak. Beyond my expectations. Bravo!
BTW Jarvo -- yes we did this last year, but it wasn't as much scientific as it is now with the poll system! :D
Besides, like someone else noted... this poll is ULTIMATE !!!!!
damn fine list if you ask me!!! but you already knew that. I just had to go with TEMPTATION - I don't care which version either...Actually I've become fairly partial to the edited down 87 version on 24Hr Pimp Daddy's OST...not too long but has all the goodies.
It was a close call between that, TPK and Dream Attack though...
Grrrrrreat poll!!!!
Because i'd never heard anything quite like that before... oh no i'd never heard anything quiiite like thaat before.....
all my NewOrder faves are not there EGG Round&Round Run Confusion Ceremony
from this list i will choose Temptation

Your right you know, Round&Round is not there...
thats almost criminal you know!!
Thank U folks for the warm greetings!!
Coming back to "Temptation", what I really love in its original version is that its recording is so raw and cold... and totally danceable!! A fucking-punk-dance tune. The 1987 version is a lot more pop... but also an amazing one.
Just to say something I've posted on the Portuguese Forum some weeks ago: why there´s no Temptation on "International"?? We all see how the fans and the band are receptive to this song... instead, they put 60MPH to increase some "Get Ready" sellings... sad.
Pete Hook's base through all the different versions of Temptation has always been perfect. The range of music I listen to centers around this song. I think it is perfect.
I did not vote for Perfect Kiss but I have to say that the video for that song is one of my favorite.
too damn difficult this. It's either Ceremony, Temptation, Regret or Your Silent Face.
Through a complex scientific selection process involving a coin and my right thumb, the winner is.........................Your Silent Face.
Can't argue with science!
Shit. Damn. A LOT of my favorite songs! :(
I'm stuck between Ceremony and Temptation...I was gonna vote for Ceremony, but it is technically a Joy Division single as well! But I really like Temptation, it has evolved over many years...but the original version is STILL so brilliant!
Awww, crikey...
TEMPTATION. :)
true faith by new order or was it new order by true faith...never knew for 6 months...then saw the video and bought Substance 12 months later...then saw finetime on TOTP. Couldnt believe that these was the same Barney and Hooky that I spent 5 years in the same class with at Salford Grammar. Ask me about the Pendleton Fault...
bug or did Temptation suddenly got a edge over everything else?
I think I will end up doing the "worst" song poll someday... ;)
