Originally posted by Matthew Smyth Only good thing about Shellshock was the Ltd. Edition they released in NZ with Thieves Like Us instrumental on it. Now that is a great track!- Didn't like Rock the Shack first few times. Very un-New Ordery. Love it now.- If you don't like The Him, listen to New Order live in Australia 1985 - awesome Hooky bass sound.- Don't like Angel Dust - never did. Nor the remix Evil Dust.- Doubts Even Here is a great song off Movement along with pretty much every somg except but Truth.- Ecstacy should not be on the list. If you listended to this in 84 when it came out - you would have been blown away like I was.- We All Stand should not be on the list - listen to the Peel Sessions!
in complete agreement with you here man. We all stand is pretty bad, but I like the peel sessions version. and since i have yet to hear a decent version of SOTN, it gets my vote!

I like RTS too man, they're just rockin out, nothing wrong with that. And I just cant dislike it too much as long as SOTN exists, lurking around the corner.....

i don't know what you guys are hearing when you listen to RTS...it's a great song. one of my favourites on GR. SOTN is virtually unlistenable....:\puke:
From that list I would arrange what I actually consider the worst songs in the following order:
- STATE OF THE NATION/SHAME OF THE NATION
- CHEMICAL
- SUCH A GOOD THING
- ROCK THE SHACK
- WE ALL STAND
- RUN WILD
- SLOW JAM
But I would also add three more to complete the top 10:
- LIAR
- TURN THE HEATER OFF (sic)
- BLUE MONDAY
We All Stand is not a bad song. It's just quirky, with the same 'unsettling' feel they sometimes went for as Joy Division (detuned synths on Isolation live, etc.) I'm not saying the experiment's to everyone's taste (most people like the Peel Sessions version better)but I can see how the PC&L version gives us a little reprise of the former incarnation before getting all cheery with 'The Village.'
What I've always wondered from my months on this forum....why is Blue Monday so hated? It's the second or third song I've heard by them, and I still find it quite excellent....what peeves most? Being played in every live show since '83? The standard remixes every 5 years??
