Sorry no upset. True Faith is a near-perfect NO song...and whilst I thought I was getting a bit bored of it, it sounded mighty at the Brixton gig in November......

Now THIS is compairing a piss to a blowjob...

True Faith by a hundred miles, a perfect and perfectly dark pop song, while C&W is still a nice evolution from Movement to the brighter Temptation/586/EGG era but doesn't match the power and spirit of TF

True Faith. Probably my favourite New Order single although Cries is one of the better b-sides.

I used to love True Faith, but I prefer C&W these days.

Quite difficult this one. Although I usually go for the older stuff, True Faith is one of the better 'pop' tunes (and I do like the latest live version contrary to popular opinion). So TF gets my vote.

They wrote a true classic with TF.

Flipped a coin - came up heads, so C&W got the vote... Both top tracks... TF is a perfect POP song, C&W perfect alternative/indie/whatever track... And I like the idea of referring to C&W as you know the one that goes 'Below the surface...'...

Cries and whispers purely for hooky's bass at around 1:55-ish :)

well, CAW is actually a favourite of mine but True Faith beats almost every other tune, it's the song that brings back memories and I still sing along every time I hear it.

True Faith hands down, Cries & Whispers (aka the inferior Mesh) gets boring after one listen.

True Faith's a great song but I've just heard it too many times...so Cries it is...

I don't like the way True Faith was played live since 1998. Even if TF still a top classic New Order song, I voted for Mesh :laugh:

(For me, it's hard to change the name of a song I called Mesh during 12 years!) :shrug:

Man this one SUCKS lol. I love these two tracks so much. I am going with True Faith, that is the first song I remember hearing by New Order so it has a nostalgic edge.

Not so hard this one. True Faith is one of the most memorable things they've done. C&W is decent but doesn't leave as big an impression.

Not really surprised that TF is running away with this one.

The music video for True Faith was how I got into their music. I had seen it when I was younger, but never remembered who did the actual song. When I started high school, this guy I met let me borrow a copy of "the best of" and sure enough, there it was. It nearly brought tears to my eyes hearing that song again because I thought I would never figure out who did it and the imagery from that video was stuck in my head for years.

So yeah, True Faith.

Cries and Whispers - easy choice.

Seeing that March Madness is approaching in the US, this matchup resembles the #1 seed going up against the winner op the play-in game. True Faith!

Sometimes we'll find that truth is never kind.

If I had to sign a contract in a field of snow it might be different, but as it is, something's got a hold of me.

True Faith.
