'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.

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.
Yep, that's what seems to have happened. Curious but true it seems. I voted for Ceremony too so maybe it's just us.
"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.
I thought I'd already voted fer this
Temptation gets it every time, best song of all fuckin time
Only one vote in it....it's getting close
I love all the songs above, and The Perfect Kiss would probably be my second choice
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
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
MODERATOR!! CLOSE THE POLL!!!!!!!
200 votes have been cast TEMPTATION is the (worthy) winner :D
Originally posted by Warm Hands, Cold Heart 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?
ahem ;)
Unfortunately my moderating hands are tied Bruv, they won't let me moderate this particular side of the forum......fuck know why;)
Temptation wins the same way our American presidents get "elected"....with less than 50% of the votes!

What about a runoff between the top two vote-getters?

Have the polls closed yet? Palm Beach County's taking forever with those damn haning chads....
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.
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
Originally posted by Al Jarvis > Originally posted by Benny's Cobweb Eyes> More people have voted this time ?
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? 
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!
:)
