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
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!!!
Originally posted by Al Jarvis 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.yes
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.
Temptation just ahead of ceremony, but why these 5 songs? I could pick another dozen as good or better than TPK.
Temptation always wins. Not that I don't like it too, but it would be nice to see something else win for a change.
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).

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.
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... ;)
The original full length TPK of course.
Best New Order single from the best New Order album.
Nuff sed! 
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

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 !!
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

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

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?

Curtis's real name was Chad.

As I said earlier it's PR innit? Everyone whose first choice has dissapeared (like mine, Regret) has to then re-apportion their vote. Obviously more people whose first choice was voted off prefer TPK, meself included.
One vote in it at the mo. There's got to be some kind of closing date on it though eh?

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.
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.
