"Bolts from above hit the people down below..." and Bernard's guitar on the live versions
The "dup-dahdatdat" synth line can get a little dragging on a 7 minute track
It's a perfect length and style of song for walking home from across campus at dusk, or for heading out to town with the chums to paint the town red after a long day.

White Russian, Big Lebowski-style / a tall dark Paulaner
The 1982 12" is absolute perfection. Can't be topped. I must have played it thousands of time. Then there are the live bootleg versions.
The 1987 version is "too commercial".
best bit? yes its the best bit ever!
worst? that some people from another thread spot it as overrated
love it? ofcourse its New Order's history
%? 100%+
Murphy's stout
I see this thread start a few years ago but people keep adding to it. Ah, the power of Temptation.
Ah temptation, the 1981-82 period is some of my favorite New Order music.
1.All of it, especially the guitar. 2.When its edited, 5 minutes is too short. 3.Bernards Vocals and Guitar work! 4.100% 5.Raspberry Italian Soda.

Exactly!!!
Why did you have to remind me of Dublin and fresh Guinness pints? I was just getting used to the idea of leaving Ireland and coming back to Greece...

Sorry, HeHeHe,
when I come to Greece I'll have to drink gin, soda & lemon then
Or we could meet somewhere inbetween & pick a new drink 
As with all New Order songs - the best bit is jumping up and down to the chorus - a classic.
Tower Ballroom 83 - " and i have never seen such cunt's quite like you before"
1.its all good baby!! 2. i must say i don't like temptation 98, i think thats abit weak for some reason 3.it's just pure poptastic perfection 4.97% 5.john smiths smooth.
Love the bass line
On the original the looping gets a bit redundant
It's a party song that can only get you jumpin'
One of my all time favs
RedBreast or Powers or Jameson and 7-UP or Boddington's on tap
Best Bit: the green/blue/gray eyes bit
Worst Bit: None! I love it all.
Why you love and/or hate it: this is the song that is New Order for me. it's perfect.
Percentile rating: 100%
What's your favorite drink?: Coke
Temptation is by far my favorite NO song - Have at least 20 takes of that one, and they're all great!
1.Best Bit- Guitar riff's 2.Worst Bit -There is'nt one 3.Like it - All fit's together perfectly 4.Percentage- 98 5.Favorite Drink- Carling Cold
best bit-"the "eyes" have it
worst part-any live version where Barney whoops (sorry just nooooo)almost as bad as his "granpa dancing"
Hey it is one of their best period
Booze? when I did drink? Rolling Rock...ahh cheap beer. at 33 I just can't drink and party all night any more
At one point I thought this was there best song. However, New Order has servel good songs, It's hard to rate this song to me. I guess it's in the mood I'm in. If you ask me next week, I'll say it's the best ever. They have so many good songs it's hard to say. But I do place it in my top 5 No songs list.
What is there to say about Temptation. It is New Order's finest work of art period. I like the version on the Singles album the best. I like Temptation when it sounds like it just came out. Love, love, love that song!
Indeed*!*
