nahhh, how can you not like shellshock? molly ringwalds face pops in my head everytime! ok so shellshock isnt one of their greatest, but it still beats state of the patient any day. that horrible extended version on Substance.....ugh.
State of the World. Nation in Motion is very bad too, but it's because of its very specific them. You can't expect to find poetry in a football song...
Or is it Nation of the World and State of Motion?
Originally posted by Spotnick Obviously no, but if you're lucky, I might change it manually if I ever get out of work...!
I can see by the threads you posted this afternoon that you have a lot of work...:D
Shite of the Nation. Overstayed its welcome by about 5 minutes.
We should all take World In Motion for what it was - a football song. Don't take it too seriously !

Yes, but building the damned installation packages I'm doing right now takes 10 mins, so I have 10 minutes of free time a lot of times per day!
Ah well..!
State Of the Nation without a doubt get's my vote. They must have been on the not so good drugs when they wrote that shite.
No way Shellshock is going to get more votes than World In Motion. World In Motion is dorky with a capitol D
This was hard, I almost didn't vote on this poll but I reluctantly chose "Murder". :headoff:
can´t believe state of the nation´s being the worst... well, this kind of things happens. what can I say? I say WIM.
I think a certain amount of demographics come into it when voting on topics related to World in Motion. Of course everyone not English is going to vote for it in a "worst of" poll ! (even plastic Scots like Shug of Notrhamptonshire, England ;)). Including it in a poll like this will skew the outcome - please treat it for what it was, a one-off commissioned track with guest vocals and a completely different type of publicity etc, rather than a regular New Order release.
For the record, I don't particularly care for it either. I was thrilled to see them getting more publicity at the time of release, but cringed at the song itself, and its inclusion at the summer festivals meant that we didn't get to hear another New Order song instead.
"Shellshock". Second choice would be Confusion. Can't listen to both tracks when i'm sober...
Shiteshock more like. SOTN is not that bad a toon - the B side version is at least tolerable. But shiteshock is just a horrible mess.
dunno, dunno....i guess WIM took the longest to grow on me...i can't really listen to shellshock anymore. it's a little too 80's 
i still think State of the Nation is a good song. hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....WIM is da winna.
Not surprised WIM's so high, but it does seem a mite petty. Change the lyrics and drop the rap and you've got classic New Order by Numbers.
Good question Major - just who here thinks HTS is the *worst* on that list ?? Ahh, freewill ... ;)
state of the nation.....shocking....i think i may have mentioned this before but when they played this on the tube the barnster had the most disgusting yellow jumper on..alongside some dodgy jeans and loafers....bad all round.

Saved only partially by a cracking version of Broken Promise straight afterwards !

Saved only partially by a cracking version of Broken Promise straight afterwards ! yes,yes..i remember now....was it just the two songs they played???...
I think they played a longer set, but I've never seen a copy of a recording anywhere. Somebody must know ?
i went with my heart--world in motion--but it would be followed closely by state of the nation. irritating. i don't particularly like thieves like us either, but the stolen mix redeems it for me (and the instrumental ain't terrible, either).
I voted for Shellshock, but I'm not too sure... the only version I have is a cover by the Backstreet Boys. :-)
State Of The Nation & Shellshock both wee all over WIM, the biggest mistake New Order ever made, that record.
threw down my vote for wim. maybe its cause im not into football? *waits for the cups of ice/beer bottles to be thrown at him*
