THE FINAL POLL: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE

1 Dec 2002, 17:06

Dear NewOrderOnline members,

It is now time to separate the men from the kids, to separate the milk from the cream (I sound like Huntsman!).

219 people have voted and chosen the following five tracks as the best New Order songs ever:

1 - Temptation - 47 votes (21.46%) 2 - The Perfect Kiss - 25 votes (11.41%) 3 - True Faith - 23 votes (10.50%) 4 - Ceremony - 22 votes (10.04%) 5 - Bizarre Love Triangle - 18 votes (8.21%)

Honorable mention to World in Motion, which is the only song who did not gather ANY vote! How ironic this is, for New Order's only #1 single ever!

Also, is there something with New Order and song titles beginning with the letter "T" ?

I'm sure these choices will raise a lot of controversy, as the last poll already did, but this is part of the fun now, isn't it? ;)

So, it is now YOURS to decide: which song is the BEST New Order song of them all?

Discuss!

1 Dec 2002, 17:52

TPK rules!!!! I never get tired of listening to his song. :music:

1 Dec 2002, 18:27

Perfect. Say no more.

1 Dec 2002, 18:45

Tough choice. But I've always preferred Temptation and I still do.

1 Dec 2002, 19:42

Since I think Temptation will run away with this one, maybe we need to spice things up a bit and separate Temptation into Temptation (original 12"), Temptation (Substance 1987 re-recording), and Temptation 1998?

1 Dec 2002, 20:44

It's gotta be... Ceremony (7" version of course!). Sooooo damn good... Very closely followed by Temptation (original) Barney's voice is very scarey on that one!

1 Dec 2002, 21:59

perfect :kiss:

1 Dec 2002, 22:19

TPK :nod:

2 Dec 2002, 00:17

True Faith for me

2 Dec 2002, 00:20

nice name for such an important poll. is like a movie title! again I have to say I chose TPK over BLT. still don´t know why because the triangle has always been my favourite. but in a way I feel like is the right thing to do, don´t ask me why. :scratch:

2 Dec 2002, 01:09

Gotta be "True Faith"! I never grow tired of this one.

2 Dec 2002, 03:20

True Faith, the first song and video that got me into New Order, a complete masterpiece. Sounds as fresh as the day I first heard it

2 Dec 2002, 03:28

"True Faith" - the song that got me into New Order, the first New Order-video i saw, the song that changed my life completely. :truefaith:

2 Dec 2002, 03:54

BLT, because it never fails to make me smile! It has lighten up so many blue moods I am forever indebted to this song.

2 Dec 2002, 04:48

Has anyone voted for True Faith who was actually into New Order before True Faith came out? Can't see it meself. Thought Touched was a better track.

Ceremony for me, with Temptation and Perfect Kiss a hair's breadth behind. BLT, sadly, has been tainted by it's current live abhorration.

2 Dec 2002, 05:42

It doesn't matter whether u were into New Order before or after True Faith, or whatever song it is, I only vote for what I think is the best of New Order. So one vote for True Faith from me.

2 Dec 2002, 05:47

Originally posted by Grinspoon It doesn't matter whether u were into New Order before or after True Faith, or whatever song it is, I only vote for what I think is the best of New Order. So one vote for True Faith from me.

I was only asking. Personally, I think it's a good song but no better than lots of tracks from their period at the end of the eighties - Round & Round, Dream Attack, 1963, etc. It's pure pop, and little more. And, again, the current live version has tainted it somewhat IMO.

2 Dec 2002, 05:54

Temptation without a doubt. Ceremony is still a JD song (half-then for the purists). Best live track too, which song do fans sing on their way home from a gig?

2 Dec 2002, 05:54

Difficult choice this one....

They are all such amazing songs and all have parts that send shivers down my spine whenever i hear them. The winner for me is "True Faith", because of the ".. in a world that's so demanding" bit. You can hear emotion in Barney's voice and as a whole the song works so well.

True faith it is then....

2 Dec 2002, 06:49

Oh no, there is no Blue Monday. So, TEMPTATION!

2 Dec 2002, 08:44

True Faith...

2 Dec 2002, 09:08

You see this is a bit like that daft "proportional representation" voting system and that's what makes it interesting.

My first choice (Regret) is out so I now need to apportion my vote elsewhere. This will be true of many voters hence a result that looked like it was gonna be a foregone conclusion is in fact very tight. We need a closing date and time for voters though.

PS Perfect Kiss got the nod from me.

2 Dec 2002, 10:10

I vote for Ceremony

Hi Gianni

What about the 7" ?

2 Dec 2002, 10:29

Its sooo close at the moment... which one will win?! :confused:

2 Dec 2002, 10:37

Ceremony. The others are great tracks too, but the opening on Ceremony still sends shivers down my spine to this day. I still remember the huge feeling of relief I felt the first time I heard it too. Relief that the magic hadn't died with Curtis.

:smoking:

2 Dec 2002, 10:40

The Perfect Kiss - NewOrder at their peak...all the elements coming together Perfect-ly
Temptation
Ceremony
BLT
True Faith

i agree with Al on the live versions being insults to the glory of the original sound on BLT and True Faith...in fact, maybe Roger Lyons is a crap programmer who is unknowingly making NewOrder sound like plastique pop?

2 Dec 2002, 11:31

Hadr to choose. Ceremony is a JD song. Temptation is good..., True Faith is too commercial, PFK is a litle bit dated...

My pick BLT Why: Extremely powerful song and has been growing on me since I heard it first on Brotherhood in 86. Sublimal song structure. Catchy and powerful lyrics. Best Hooky ending on any song (including TPK)

2 Dec 2002, 11:34

wow...a toughie..

the kiss just shades it for its power as a live track...the best opening track at gigs bar none...

temptation a close second.....al, i remember you saying at an outdoor festival in the states that you have a sublime memory of this..as a finishing song alongside the sunset...etc

certain tracks have special moments...tpk live at leeds tiffs...we had waited an age for them to come on...the crowd was restless,breathless and eager...the rush when this track kicked in will stay with me for a long time..

2 Dec 2002, 11:48

I couldn't bring myself to vote in the first round, but I'm now (following the elimination of AOC and DNE) throwing my not very considerable weight behind The Perfect Kiss.

Sorry to vote against True Faith, which holds a very special place in my New Order heart, but The Perfect Kiss is probably slightly (only slightly) better.

Plus I'm bored with Temptation winning these things, :sleep: and TPK is the most likely alternative to win.

2 Dec 2002, 11:57

The Kiss of Death for me!:D

2 Dec 2002, 13:03

Playing with my pleasure zone!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

2 Dec 2002, 13:46

Bit of a tug of war between Temp and TF, but I went with my gut instinct.

why no World in Motion? :cry: (just kidding :D )

2 Dec 2002, 14:33

"True Faith" - The first NO song I heard, the first video I saw, the reason for me to buy the "Best Of" in 1998, and start listening to No & Jd!!! (How melancholic) - I'll never get tired of listening to it. :jump: :truefaith:

2 Dec 2002, 15:51

Very nearly TPK but Temptation has to be the one for me. All time classic that blew me away when i first heard it. Sounds as good today as anything around at the moment.

2 Dec 2002, 16:11

The Perfect Kiss is one of those songs that hits all of your emotions. The final like 3 minutes of that song is unbelievable. I love the way the base and keyboard compete back and forth for the ending. The video makes this the greatest song for New Order because it is them raw and simple, Cold and Cocky.

2 Dec 2002, 17:46

Ceremony....when I first heard Temptation in '82, it truly was a revelation, but Ceremony is/was such a poignant bridge between what was and what is that it will always stand out.

2 Dec 2002, 19:59

Originally posted by homage Ceremony....when I first heard Temptation in '82, it truly was a revelation, but Ceremony is/was such a poignant bridge between what was and what is that it will always stand out.

Exact same feeling here, and the last NO gig that I went to, I walked out singing Ceremony.

2 Dec 2002, 21:10

So what this poll mean is that, just like the band, nobody thinks Blue Monday is one of their best and should be played at each and every show? :lol:

2 Dec 2002, 23:59

Well I guess I'm gonna vote for True Faith but before I do I want to hear the 7 inch version of Ceremony. Where do I go to listen to that masterpiece?

3 Dec 2002, 12:27

http://neworderonline.com/thread.asp?action=&thread_id=6704&forum_id=1 try this, its on the first page of threads (hope this link works!) i just downloaded both. thanks much again to LowLife!

3 Dec 2002, 14:16

Anyone who's read a posting of mine knows it's the 7" of Temptation that gets it.At the time so different to anything I'd ever heard. Nostalgia now for those happy days.......

3 Dec 2002, 14:40

Im not sure if I should vote on this poll because I have only heard the Substance versions of these songs.

Do they happen to be the best versions of these songs or should I look into other cds to hear the best versions? And if so where and for which songs?

3 Dec 2002, 15:32

Nikos, check out low-life's downloads on another thread. Those are the best versions of both. Substance has the 12" Temptation and the re-recorded Ceremony with Gillian on it. Good, but nowhere near the first version.

3 Dec 2002, 15:32

That is clearly a close poll!

3 Dec 2002, 17:52

it has got to be the perrrrrrrrfect kiss, just for the bass line.

3 Dec 2002, 18:18

I voted TPK of course. Just like I voted for it the first time.

Hey cool! TPK and Temptation are tied! It'd be cool to see TPK win. Though Tempation is a damn good song as well. It's been growing on me.

3 Dec 2002, 18:56

Very, very close call with Temptation, but it has to be Bizarre Love Triangle. I feel priviliged to have seen it first performed live (or so I believe) at Hemel Hempstead in 1985.

3 Dec 2002, 20:46

Originally posted by a very small boy Well I guess I'm gonna vote for True Faith but before I do I want to hear the 7 inch version of Ceremony. Where do I go to listen to that masterpiece?

ehhh...ya know the 7" version of Ceremony has its charm, but overall i think the 12" wins out. now the 7" version of temptation is a true gem. you have to listen to it before you vote!!

3 Dec 2002, 21:51

7", 12", 831.253", no matter how you slice it, an absolute CLASSIC!!!

:jump:

4 Dec 2002, 02:15

wow, it is getting close. i hope it's Perfect :kiss:, just cuz i listened to that song for 3 months straight, and it took me a long time to put away that song. you can listen to a million times, and you'll hear something different. it's a complex song and it's just wonderful.

4 Dec 2002, 03:47

Originally posted by Ian Passingham Very, very close call with Temptation, but it has to be Bizarre Love Triangle. I feel priviliged to have seen it first performed live (or so I believe) at Hemel Hempstead in 1985.

It changed a bit from that Hemel version !!

4 Dec 2002, 05:07

My vote is for The Perfect Kiss. It was my introduction to NO, and the silver 12inch was my first NO record. After all these years it is still fresh no matter how many times I hear it. A simply perfect 9 minutes!

Ceremony and Temptation equal 2nd!

4 Dec 2002, 11:45

TOUCHED BY THE HAND OF GOD IS SUPERB FROM THE STUDIO BUT PIPPING IT FOR BEING AMAZING LIVE IS AGE OF CONSENT

4 Dec 2002, 13:59

Of the 5 has to be either Temptation or Ceremony. Hmmm, tough one.

Both are standouts live but Temptation was the first record where I think New Order found their own sound post Joy Division, so Temptation it is.

Heaven, a gateway of hope - says it all really.

Maybe.

4 Dec 2002, 19:29

It's an extremely close vote!!!

BLT and Ceremony are tied!!!! GO BLT !!!! Let it go, Jarvo!!! :lol:

4 Dec 2002, 19:31

Jeremy...you should search for a tape of TPK live in Sweden (I think) in 1984, nearly a year before the recorded version got released. If I remember correctly, it runs to 9.5 minutes long. An awesome, powerful version.

5 Dec 2002, 05:52

Originally posted by Warm Hands, Cold Heart It's an extremely close vote!!!BLT and Ceremony are tied!!!! GO BLT !!!! Let it go, Jarvo!!!

I like all five tracks, though only True Faith wouldn't be in me personal top 10. (And I'd insist on BLT being the original version).

5 Dec 2002, 06:02

Bloody 'ell i just realized i aint voted on this yet!!

hmmm :scratch:

5 Dec 2002, 08:04

Temptation just shades it over TPK.

5 Dec 2002, 10:29

The Perfect Kiss - The Perfect Song.

5 Dec 2002, 15:22

Every one of this songs is great...but my vote goes to Bizzare Love Triangle...think on the version of Substance Huga... It's also the song which reflex myone best

5 Dec 2002, 22:26

Would have loved to vote for Everything's gome green in the preselection, cant understand why it was missing?

By the way, the representation of non-single Technique tracks on Retro is hugely disappointing. Guilty partner is one of New Order's best non-singles!!!

5 Dec 2002, 23:21

6 Dec 2002, 01:23

Temptation for me...I wanted to vote for Ceremony but got an attack of guilt... cos its primarily a Joy Division track. Although we love it as a New Order track theres no getting away from that fact.

6 Dec 2002, 06:30

Originally posted by OTHERvoted most popular Temptation for me...I wanted to vote for Ceremony but got an attack of guilt... cos its primarily a Joy Division track. Although we love it as a New Order track theres no getting away from that fact.

I've got to disagree. Primarily, it's a New Order song. Admittedly, with lyrics penned by Ian Curtis.

6 Dec 2002, 07:22

Temptation just ahead of ceremony, but why these 5 songs? I could pick another dozen as good or better than TPK.

6 Dec 2002, 07:56

Temptation always wins. Not that I don't like it too, but it would be nice to see something else win for a change.

6 Dec 2002, 08:23

Hey, where is Blue Monday?! I can't believe it isn't listed at the Top 5! Anyway, the 7 inch version of Ceremony is the best music ever recorded in studio and released by New Order (JD only recorded it live).

6 Dec 2002, 08:27

Its Joy Divisions, New Order just made it sound better.

6 Dec 2002, 09:11

Originally posted by OTHERvoted most popular Its Joy Divisions, New Order just made it sound better.

I'm gonna beg to differ. It's a link between the two bands, but it's still a New Order song. It's synonymous with New Order, and not Joy Division. They've made it their own.

6 Dec 2002, 13:47

The Perfect Kiss! Hookys Bass!!!!, The Cow Bell! , Great Synths!, and the frogs!!!!!!!

6 Dec 2002, 18:21

That would give a good thread: "Ceremony: A JD or NO song??? Justify".

I'm too drunk to justify it right now... but I would give the credits to JD... if there's any difference between them, but that´s another thread... ;)

6 Dec 2002, 20:59

The original full length TPK of course.

Best New Order single from the best New Order album.

Nuff sed! :nod:

:smoker:

6 Dec 2002, 21:05

Temptation for me :D:

7 Dec 2002, 04:46

Well BLT is the life-changing song which I had. Woke up on a sunday morning in August 97 put it on video hits and they played Bizzare Love Triangle as a flashback. It changed everything completely forever.

In saying all that I voted for True Faith.

Cheers ALEX

7 Dec 2002, 04:52

Originally posted by Conrad Donlon Temptation just ahead of ceremony, but why these 5 songs?I could pick another dozen as good or better than TPK.

General consensus. These 5 songs got the most votes in a previous poll. A dozen songs better than TPK ? You are having a tin barf !!

8 Dec 2002, 01:00

I listen TPK everynight. BLT used to have this spot but that time just passed (still a pretty good song).

When you are alone at night You search yourself for all the things that you believe are right ... Now I know the perfect kiss Is the kiss of death

tRCO_or_tRC1

8 Dec 2002, 05:54

TRUE FAITH...by the shortest hair in Hooky's beard, ahead of Temptation and TPK. I totally empathise with several other contributors who revealed how TF turned them onto the band. It was like finding God for me and then I had the delicious task of delving into previous works like the above-mentioned tracks. DR

9 Dec 2002, 19:26

I'll let this poll run until next week-end and hopefully we can get to 200 votes. Many visitors of the site are not voting -- it's a bit disappointing!

But yes, the tendencies are somwhat pretty clear now, are they?

10 Dec 2002, 00:46

got to be true faith...though my finger hovered for a looonnggg time...who wants to bet that Temptation will be the winner on the day??? (tee hee)

11 Dec 2002, 01:20

True Faith is the best song ever. You can dance to it, you can cry to it. Great video to go with it too.

13 Dec 2002, 04:54

Is this poll to name everyone's SECOND favourite New Order track, or their favourite?

How on earth, when presented with twenty choices, could Temptation beat Perfect Kiss into submission by 22 votes, but now - at this point in time - only leads it by 2?

Bizarre.

I'm English, we don't do proportional representation. You either win something, or you don't.

Does seem a bit suspect though - and it's hardly 'proportional'. Temptation has only picked up a further 3 votes, but Perfect Kiss gets, like, 25? 8 to 1 in favour of the latter? That's believable. Not.

13 Dec 2002, 07:48

Im sorry but TPK is SO not their best song in their history.

Im sure the video has swayed a lot of people as its flawless and quite possibly one of their finest moments to date.

But a lot of people seem to be wetting themselves over the song and although it undeniably deserves to be a top 5 it lacks the power and emotion of certain other songs.

'I'm English, we don't do proportional representation. You either win something, or you don't.'

What, like when Labour actually got more votes in 1970 but the Tories 'won' the election due to the stupid system ? What's happened is that the sort of person who prefers the omitted songs as their favourite are apparently much more likely to prefer TPK as their second favourite.

Originally posted by bill poster What's happened is that the sort of person who prefers the omitted songs as their favourite are apparently much more likely to prefer TPK as their second favourite.

Er, I do understand Proportional Representation, 'Bill', but what I fail to understand is that Temptation ROMPED this originally (when given wider choice, it garnered TWICE the votes of its nearest rival), but when we've cut it down to just five it's actually trailing in LAST place when compared the other four. Everyone's votes have gone elsewhere, BUT Temptation (which has only picked up just 3 further votes as I type).

So, it seems you either LOVE Temptation, or HATE it. And there's no middle ground. Which surprises me, as I thought the votes would continue to grow consistently with the previous round. Personally, I voted for Ceremony.

13 Dec 2002, 09:28

Yep, that's what seems to have happened. Curious but true it seems. I voted for Ceremony too so maybe it's just us.

13 Dec 2002, 09:31

"Bizarre Love Triangle" is my favorite newOrder song of all time, it was a tuff decission, becuase i love all newOrder songs, but this one stands out of all them.

13 Dec 2002, 10:07

I thought I'd already voted fer this :confused:

Temptation gets it every time, best song of all fuckin time

13 Dec 2002, 10:21

Not gonna argue with that Shugzy!

It will be an injustice imo if PK wins :nono:

13 Dec 2002, 10:26

I just love the Perfect Kiss. That last three minutes is so good !

13 Dec 2002, 10:56

Only one vote in it....it's getting close :lol:

I love all the songs above, and The Perfect Kiss would probably be my second choice :nod: Only seen them play The Perfect Kiss a couple of times, but the crowd's reaction at gigs tells the proper story, and Temptation is always the crowds favourite. Watching Reading 93 the other day, and you cannae help but piss yersel when you hear the fans singing along with the "Oooh, Oooh, Oooh" part....so out of tune they sound like The Stone Roses live :evil4:

13 Dec 2002, 11:18

Damn, ive been sucked into the temptation vortex!!! BLT has always been the one song I could listen to that would make me feel good no matter what...and given the past few months thats saying alot..... But Ive been listening to Temptation alot lately (all three versions I have, whoohoo!) and it is just about perfection. Its dancable, which always gets points from me, makes you wanna sing with it, sounds great live, good guitar lines, GREAT Hooky bassline, great updated version..... I give it two thumbs up!!! umm i mean, one mouse click! :D

13 Dec 2002, 11:43

i heard that "Temptation" Jr.(87)'s brother runs the website host company and has a cousin who has high influence with the webmasters, and that they all conspired to block all votes originating from Australia (because they are descended from criminals and undesirables and can't be trusted). also, the poll was very confusing to the illiterate fans of New Order, as well as these fans who lack a computer. this is unquestionably unfair! plus, how can explain why "BLT" got less than half the votes of "Temp"? pretty shady...

just goes to show that nothing ever changes

I only just cast my vote (blew up three computer screens trying to push my polling pencil through the right hole) and it went to...

Temptation

I don't like The Perfect Kiss that much, just another New Order song for me.

Temptation all the way. CLOSELY followed by True Faith.

I'm starting to believe we'll have to do a Battle of the Two poll....!

Anyone noticed that it's all the kids who weren't around/even born when they played Perfect Kiss live who are slagging it off ? Anyone who has ever experienced it in a live setting will know just how good it is. "Just another track" - my arse it is :p

Nope, there's still 30 less. I assume all the original Temptation voters are yet to cast?

Or perhaps a Chinese Syndicate has placed big bets on Perfect Kiss? :eek3:

For your info, I had voted Temptation the first time around and picked Bizarre Love Triangle for this poll. After all, somebody once said that it was "the ultimate dance record" so I thought it was legitimate to change my vote!
