hahaha! those are some of the worst songs ive ever heard. but when considering the worst one, i can't really count b-sides, unreleased, remakes, filler songs etc. so i would have to say fine time. i cant believe that was the first single off technique. and whenever i see the video on vh1 classic it just shoves the song in my face (not to mention the video makes me dislike it even more). i cant ignore it like i can ignore more obscure tracks. btw ive never heard vietnam maybe someone could give it to me :(

you guys seem to complain about the experimental side of New Order... makes you wonder what you like about New Order. New Order are great when they have a sense of humor and fun.

the second half of Get Ready is pretty embarrassing. the second half of Republic is fatally uninteresting.

Jetstream definetely gets my vote. Should have been a b - side at best.

ive always said that i like new order because their songs are so varied when it comes to styles. so i believe that everyone likes at least one of their songs. and lets not forget that blue monday was purely an experiment in technology. im not really sure why no one likes state of the nation, i think its so sensual, same with i told you so.

In my opinion, there's no really bad NEWorder song (as originals), and besides i love 'Subculture' on 'Low Life', but if there has to be 1 that, even tough after all these years, i barely can't listen to, its the 12" of Sub. But, no, sorry folks, 'Jestream' is a good popsy tune, and isn't it time to listen to NEWorder without prejudice ?
If only.

:clap: :clap:

For the record, Murder gets my vote for worst NO tune.

I'm quite happy to announce that in a pretty big NO collection, I don't have a single version of World In Motion. It's an embarrassing track in every possible sense, musically, lyrically and thematically. Does anyone else feel confused/angry/frustrated that among all the legendary singles NO released, THAT gets to number one? :banghead:

SOTN is a classic. Great lyrics, great guitar riff and the bassline was even later used for Mr Disco.

Why don't you like Hurt? I personally think it's one of their best early tracks.

Part of me automatically thinks of We All Stand as a contender for NO's worst song, but part of me really thinks that it's somehow a really worthwhile song. I really can't decide. But I suppose it's worth noting that I at least think it's worthy of consideration.

Hi

To me, Guilt is a useless emotion is the worst NO song ever, without any doubt.

:clap: Not the worst (that's Liar!), but I really can't work out why so many people have been saying such great things about Guilt... It's just a bit boring, innit?
