The New Order Cup Semi Final - TEMPTATION vs THE PERFECT KISS

Poll closes 8pm Wednesday 19th April

Mmmmm

A bit like Liverpool v Chelsea in the real thing.....soo tough to call.

Both equally fantastic live and on record.

What would you like to hear at the start or end of a gig..either of these.

What would you like to hear in a hot sweaty bar pumping out the speakers...either of these

For me it goes back to Leeds Tiffs in 85 to one of my top NO moments...The pain of the wait and the ecstacy and chaos of the best opening song of any gig I have been to...Sealed with a Loving Kiss

TPK TPK TPK

Oh God. TPK has always been alongside Ceremony my favourite song of all time. But recently I've been listening to the 7" version of Temptation and it blows me away. Tough. But the instrumental ending of TPK is monumental. Kiss of Death for Temptation I think.

hard one, but it has to be temptation.

first time i voted against temptation. Whoever wins this one gets my next vote. TPK showcases each members' unique contributions to the band.

Temptation..

I've grown a bit tired of Temptation, so I voted TPK. Both cracking songs.

TPK

TPK i evened it at 13-13...

Temptation

Temptation. it currently leads by one vote. i really don't know which song to vote for if it comes to a Regret Temptation final.

I was the third person to vote. I was the first to vote for Temptation. Very, very difficult decision, Temptation is the simplistic beauty. TPK the technological masterpiece. The anthem v the multi-orgasim for the ears. In the end Temptation got my vote because it leaves me feeling energized every time.

This is seriously stiff competition for TPK, which is 1 vote short just now. Like I've said before, I'll vote for TPK no matter what the opposition is. Come on, all you TPK lovers out there, don't neglect to cast your vote !!

Temptation... And for the final as well :)

I will never understand some people ;) Perfect Kiss is perfect!

I know you know.

TPK.

For the original live lyrics.

And for the way Hooky's bass winds down at the end.

Temptation is a great song, but TPK is better in terms of both music and lyrics.

I can resist everything except Temptation

The Perfect Kiss.

TPK. Astounding to be honest.

i've never been a big fan of TPK, so quite an easy choice really

The Perfect Kiss 12" is a definitive version while Temptation has strengths and weaknesses in all versions so I'll pick Perfect Kiss for that lame reason

Temptation for me

45 - 29 ! It's not even close

I know! I just can't believe it...!

:(

Well, I think I've voted against TPK in most of the rounds so far - so why stop now!

Like everyone else, I love the outro to TPK, but IMO Temptation is a far better song from start to finish

Perfect Kiss cos it got me back into them after a long time.

Jesus, this is a bloody hard one. TPK by a whisker.

1. TPK
2. Dream Attack
3. Turn
4. Ceremony
5. Regret

It hasn't changed since ... well ... since Turn moved in last year.

TPK will have green eyes on Temptation...

temptation, the rhythms just go round and round

WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I've been so loyal to you, TPK!!!

Temptation.

This was a hard one, but TPK by a microbe

these must be the 2 best songs EVER...but TPK shades it for me.

Definitely a tough one i'll have to plump for TPK imo the perfect NO record bar none.

another three hours to get 16 TPK votes in ! stranger things have happened ...

I would have voted for Temptation out of respect, but the '87 version and all the rehashes just took the piss out of it. Voted for The Perfect Kiss because when I bought Substance on vinyl in '87, all I knew was BLT and Blue Monday. First time I listened to Substance was on my dad's antique Dual turtable. When the full lenght version of The Perfect Kiss came on (by that time the turntable had warmed up), I just stared at the record player, watching the needle rip through the grooves and listened and stared, and stared. The Perfect Kiss hypnotized me.
